Ron, I'm not sure that'll help your situation, but you might want to give it a shot. If you need help with that, let me know. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I should say for a reminder that the V and L in VLC stand for videolan, and those libs I mentioned above are (I believe) occasionally useful, but are old. The main point being that VLC has a lot of nice features, you should check them out. MAA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
