I offered plenty of help - unless he can explain *why* he chose to partition (and why he chose the scheme he described), there's no reason for him to do it. -- Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks. The rest gets trashed.

He listed no reasons. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR |
