It is obvious that Adrian is a non-conformist. I suggest that possibly his posts go unanswered to to the lack of being able to follow a simple suggestion. Expecting those who give their time to even respond RTFM with out the OP taking time to even do so is just rude. Adrian, if you want snippets, find those that already exist, there are many; then if you still have an issue explain the issue. This list isn't for holding your hand telling you how it is done. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
