When multitasking I prioritize throughput over latency. I went and scrubbed steps for a few hours to keep the landlord happy. All for a 86K download: zip is tiny! It just has the liability of being last in the alphabet. > In this case, you lucked out, because > I'm going to do it for you! See there's a method in my madness. :-) It seems that I could solve these sorts of problems with the "partial" and "curr" views. I did indeed have a partial TeTex download pending, and I actually did need it for what I was compiling. I had just forgotten that I needed it, as I was interrupted in my work last week. Thanks for all the help everyone. -- Cheers, www.indiegamedesign.com Brandon Van Every Seattle, WA When no one else sells courage, supply and demand take hold. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
