Thanks ... Time to bone up on my xcopy switches! On a positive note, the "windiff" pointer looks very promising.

That is pretty much exactly what I needed! --------------------------- Sam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
