Yes, thanks for catching that. I had figured that out at some point, but the virtual-machine comment was from before that and I guess I never changed it. Additionally, I'm used to VM in the machine not memory context, so still slip up and write machine even when I'm talking about memory from time to time. =:^( ) I'll change that comment as soon as I send this, and hopefully the specific discussion will tune my sensitivity to it enough that I quit making that mistake in discussion from now on, as well. So thanks again. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master." Richard Stallman
