Seriously Arfrever, drop the rhetoric here, and go fix the profile=20 compatibility issue. Everytime you bring up dot's in use, you ignore=20 compatibility, and every damn time it gets brought up I keep having=20 to repeat this. It's not productive and this has repeated for at=20 least a year now. People who want this need to sort the compat issue rather than=20 sticking their heads in the sand. ~brian
