it also is used with encryption.


so it is not the best technical answer
I had to think back to one of my classes to even com up with what little I did

Very very good!  Although I haven't figured out the Function to get the password yet, I use it mostly to get the windows user name for tracking changes in my databases.

Google leads me to the site, and from there I turn my BOFHness loose:

:D

This is also verified through Vector! :P

You still didn't answer the question of how to install it without threading being enabled, but you did answer how to write scripts around the dreaded deadlock problem with all threaded languages.

:P

I'll send you something in email to help you along with solving this problem.

And that info is WHERE? :D

Don't make me start hauling out the arcane Windows knowledge.  I think I'm doing good for someone that barely uses Linux.

We need to create a new name.  It's just too good to miss.  Kinda like ebonics.

I know there is Dr., and Ms., the question is what happened to Mr.?  If Ms. and Mr. got together would that make Ms. Mrs.?  And a little while later that might need Dr. to have Bby.  Of course who cares cause now it stands for Doesn't Operate Sh@t.

You tried.  I know the bit, it's in, I believe, "On A Pale Horse".  Which is part of the Incarnations of Immortality series.  Very interesting series with very few references to female undergarments, unlike the Xanth series.

ah, I assumed it was a Xanth series since I read more of those.  I read the incarnation series too....hense my screen name...yes fewer references to female undergarments, but as a teenage boy I cetainly enjoyed both series.
