Franks page requires a lot of work I can tell you, there are a lot of engines, and everytime somebody has a new version Frank goes to work and it is ready for download within minutes. That is dedication for you, and HTTP is not like a FTP where you can just copy it into a directory and be done, no he needs to edit the pages everytime. So if there is anyone out there that knows the world doesn't revolve around him, if there is anyone who sacrifices time to help others... well you get the picture. ;) -S.
