Hi Joe,

Thanks for the input, but the projects run on a bunch of different platforms -- various 
flavours of linux and various flavours of IBM AIX. The red tape involved for me to install 
something like the gentoo file manager on all of these systems (assuming that's possible) 
is...well... I can't even think of a suitable adjective! :o)

Thanks for the info.

cheers,

paulv
