I read through the FAQ and all the mailing list archives and didn't find anything specific on this problem. Any help would be appreciated. -- Denis Laroche Pratt & Whitney Canada, Test Facilities Computing 1000 Marie-Victorin, 01AG3 Longueuil, Québec, Canada, J4G 1A1 tel. 450-677-9411 x5224 UTC tecnet 647-5224 email denis DOT laroche AT pwc DOT ca -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
