(So if a required field was missing, the PR wasn't created.) I had to modify the punt code so it wouldn't exit the server if file-pr had an error, but simply return to the main loop of the server. It's probably good that you haven't seen my code, or you would had more "crap code" to delete. :-) -- =========================================================================== oO Tony.Parent@lsil.com LSI Logic __o []< 2001 Danfield Ct -\<, | (970) 206-5769 Fort Collins, CO 80525 O / O ===========================================================================
