Perhaps in some cases they do not get back quickly because they are still trying to analyse the problem, or trying to reproduce it before they can suggest a solution. I have no complaints with either their product or their support. -- Tony Marston http://www.tonymarston.net http://www.radicore.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
