Scenario B: Johnny changes his own locks and says nothing. Within the next six months, seven houses are broken into, ransacked, innocent children maimed, housewives raped, and husbands tied up and forced to watch Gomer Pyle reruns for hours on end. Which scenario would you rather live in?? Submitted for your approval..... -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3814 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ floyd sb1 mhuxv ]!burl!rcj
