My stacking arguments are driven by the difficulties it raises and how they might be addressed, not the solutions it offers. I've learned to "speak up quickly" when things like this get presented in patches... grass doesn't grow under this project's feet. :) There are other ways for the application to identify the module that are more common, although less speedy. > thanks, > > greg k-h > J.
