However, a quick look at the source reveals why it is taking so long. Each little one piece of spam contains much white space (about 65,000 lines of it!). I guess if SMSI would remove the spam and implement an approval feature (as I have suggested to them about a year or two ago) the docs wouldn't have that problem. I'll email someone and see if they will let me fix it. Donovan -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
