It might indeed not be his homwork. My intention was not to suggest that you are a troll or that there is anything wrong with asking for help with your homework. I was just stating that your question sounded a lot like one that would be asked as part of a homework assignment. If that were the case, I would still have gladly helped you, though I certainly would not have done the assignment for you. If you read the second part of my post, you will have noticed that I commended you for looking into this problem and that, by tackling it, you'll be putting yourself well ahead in your studies. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. The people on this list are really all extremely helpful when given a chance. :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
