I agree, that would be fantastic, but many commercial apps only support OSS, and it will be long before they change.

From what Jaroslav was saying this is actully pretty wasy to do, so why not do it? - D ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
