I think thats what I was trying to say when I said I had to open a lot 
of doors and peek around the jams to see if the target was there, or 
visible from there.  Sort of like the tv cops, who always stick the 
gun around the corner first, asking to get a hand blown off by some 
nervous perp.

I wasn't thinking, or I might have tried the /linux addendum on the 
url. But, sitting here thinking about it, I have to confess that if I 
had tried it, and it worked, no one would have been more surprised 
than I.

Valid criticism, considering the real support solution would be to 
open the srcs and let one of our many enterprising coders fix it, 
thereby relieving them of something they must consider a somewhat 
onerous chore, with little or no thanks forthcoming when they do.  I 
understand that they don't own all the srcs, and therefore cannot 
open them, so this is the best we're gonna get.  OTOH, how many trade 
secrets would be given away by at least opening the interface specs?  
I'm not smart enough to answer that one, Murphy tends to listen too 
carefully, looking for ways to bend a leg up and stick it in my mouth 
as is.
