Please use postfix quoting format: your reply goes below the material cited. Trim your quotes appropriately and ensure your attributions are accurate. Please set your mailer/editor linewrap to 68-75 characters. I strongly recommend 72 as a good default. Thank you. Please state exactly what you're running and what response you're getting. Your post makes no sense. > --- "Karsten M. Self" <kmself@ix.netcom.com> wrote: > > Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 01:07:59 -0700 > > From: "Karsten M.
