From what I can tell from the little detail I have read is that the system at both a hardware and software level will not run any program that is not properly signed (or whatever). So, in order to get your arbitrary code to run, you need to be sure that the system will trust it -- which adds a bit of complication to the whole process but definately doesn't make it impossible. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "I don't intend to offend, I offend with my intent" hellNbakat_private http://www.nmrc.org/~hellnbak -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
