Brian,

I have found over the years, that you and quite a few others on this
group when you don't have the slightest clue as to the answer to a
question instead of just shutting up you spew garbage at the
question. I gave you the EXACT error message which is all I have to
give you. As usual instead of contributing you just bla bla bla.

"Have to"? "*Have to*"???

Kind sir, you seem to be confusing this NG with a paid support line.
Your receipt for payment, sir? Oh, wait, you didn't pay anything?
Then what were you expecting?

Brian did quite a lot more for you than he "had to." He gave you
several important leads, any of which could get a clueful person
to a successful outcome. Unfortunately, those who are less clueful
tend to miss the important stuff, given that Brian didn't package
his response in a paid-trouble-ticket kind of environment.

SO, in my book, Brian tried to help, and you spat on him in response.

I don't think, in the current SCO environment (shrinking mindshare,
disappearing gurus, less and less development, etc.) that it's wise
to alienate the few people that try to help, albeit somewhat
curmudgeonly. You, sir, however, know much more about EVERYTHING than
me, including manners and courtesy, so just ignore everything I've
spouted.

So, I have one more word for you:

*Plonk!*
