I accept, and i should prolly have not vented my recent anger on the whole list. You have a good point, Joel, those that have money may not use it wisely. But we have a wide range of people here from all over the world, from many cultures and incomes, and i felt a few were suggesting too strongly that Arlie jeopardize his position with the client by stressing the hardware upgrades. I personally applaud him, it's not easy doing without, especially when you can see others getting all they need, maybe as close as across the street. It takes a swift mind to find workable solutions in that environment. I have been putting up web pages as i make them, i started just Wednesday last week. I plan on putting up a Eu page with code, mostly the strings things i stressed before, and internet apps. Rather than put an update to the mirc-Eu zip file on the RDS page, i am thinking more of splitting the files out and labeling them for specific tasks,, like the strings files, or the mirc connector, or the web browser api i am toying with, or whatever. Comments? And, Arlie, i'll have the code posted in a couple days that i use to search the DB, it should port to dos easily, since it uses no windoze calls. Right now it's tied up in other code. Kat
