It wasn't really necessary to show the issue that I was seeing, so I didn't bother with it. If you know what the correct flag is off hand and would like to enlighten me, I would be glad to recieve your correction :o) Thanks for the suggestion. -- ================================= David May Senior UNIX System Administrator Albuquerque TVI 505-224-3015 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
