  Might be the way to go.  I use my own "door kit" that mimicks edoor, the
only problem is I never bothered to write the routines to read a drop file
because every other package I used under *nix would allow me to pass the
node and user name. (Same with the DOS packages, so I could continue to
just get that info from command line)

  That's not a huge problem.  I'm sure that can be delt with.  Though I
am not sure how.

  okay.

  Good for you.  Enjoy!  We have 18 more days until we can get into the
woods.  With all the Toronto trips with my parents going on it will fly
past.
