Actually they are a problem on a loaded system, it's just that developers seem to run system with enough power to avoid the issues. And if you have a system using burn-free all the time you do use more track and the occasional device won't read it. If someone would note the capabilities needed to allow these things maybe jrg would have one less thing to complain about. -- -bill davidsen (davidsen@tmr.com) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me
