That's surely the only sane option) then this issue must have been due to false positives... Can anyone contruct a file of some kind that will give a false-positive for the various proposed detection routines? Bonus points if it's a Makefile, since that would be a more powerful argument for it being impossible... -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, BSc, MCSE On-hiatus Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
