Thanks Michael for such quick feedback to my question. I will be patient and let google do its thing.

I'm REALLY glad to know that Overgrow's script will work because it is my ONLY option. Like you, my server does not allow force type directives. That is because my hosting enviornment has phpsuexe installed. Apparently this is useful for improving the security of the server but it has a horrible consequence for php scripts. When phpsuexe is installed all .htaccess php calls to apache are void therefore force type etc. lines in the .htaccess are useless. This is because php is no longer running as an apache module and apache will not handle those directives any longer. Apparently most server enviornments and hosts are going to install phpsuexe and that will render all hacks like xenon's, scuzzy's indexers, which rely on force type mime mod, features void.
Quote from "PHPSUEXEC - What do I need to know?" - "All servers will be running phpsuexec within the near future."

Overgrow's hack will be the only SE Friendly option for the majority of vBs soon.
