How's this: I'm not sure, but I do believe he was referring to official vanilla patch submission... although I could be wrong. IIRC, don't vanilla and -mm have some somewhat substancial internal differences that could require manual changes? I could be wrong though, I've never even looked at the diffs/patches for vanilla vs -mm. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable.
