Any reduction in disk space would be temporary. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I appreciate software that can be installed into it's own directory tree and not use any disk space under c:\windows and if possible not use any registry entries. This makes the all important uninstall a simple 'deltree'/'rm -rf' command. If everyone did it that way, my registry wouldn't be over 3MB and I wouldn't have hundreds of garbage files in the C:\windows tree. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles / ) /--< o // // http://www.wgn.net/~dbe/ -/-' /___/_<_
