I know there was probably no one interested enough at the time, everyone is busy, not every idea presented can be reviewed in detail etc etc. And it's not a big issue, just a minor annoyance. /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf Wanderlöf ricardw(at)axis.com Axis Communications AB, Lund, Sweden www.axis.com Phone +46 46 272 2016 Fax +46 46 13 61 30
