I guess I was hoping to see things sorted by overhead, but as you said removing all the -F options gives me that. I have been distracted with other fires this week, I lost focus at what I was trying to accomplish. Let me figure that out again and try to come up with a more clear email explaining what I was looking for (for myself at least :-) ). Sorry for the distraction. Cheers, Don
