I understand bad days! No problems! I was probably a "bit" harsh, I'd spent too much time with computers on thursday!

I will post my results later after I make sure I have all my "pieces-n-parts" aligned in neat little piles!! As a career programmer, I hate bothering people when I haven't done my piece correctly.

But for now, I must pay homage to the mainframe deities that make my forum hosting services possible(my mainframe job). Hence, I am prevented from doing interesting work for the next 6 or 7 hours....

The VB hacks(related to this function) are all quite functional, and I have done integration testing with the legacy functionality, and all is working fine. Just my omissions causing the newnews.pl script to fail appear to be my only issues in getting this functional.

I am sort of confused, because I cannot tell where W2K installed the Perl source base. It was 37meg, so you'd think a guy could find a trail somewhere..but it was late, and the toothpicks hiolding my eyelids up were becoming quite painful.....I'll probably find it straightaway later today!!

cheers!
