I was not in the least confused - I was simply told the wrong facts by people who were in the know. Perhaps the design has changed since? Or perhaps it was simply a case of the wrong person answering a question? Regardless, I merely wanted to show that I am quite aware of the need for standards of evidence in my postings, and that the source I used *should* have been a reliable one. -- Tim Maroney, {ihnp4,sun,well,ptsfa,lll-crg,frog}!hoptoad!tim (uucp) hoptoad!tim@lll-crg (arpa)
