by compile properly do you mean run it and as long as theres no errors / warnings it's okay or do you actually have to compile it? it does work fine from the command line This is a standalone laptop so it doesn't matter if mail is lost, but the idea is good if i ever get the thing to work! O/T : p.s. This might be my last reply until after the weekend which starts in 25 minutes, and finishes one hour later than normal because of the clocks falling back :o)
