I've dealt with "you've gotta run" before. I had the required hardware & software running over in the corner, with shared disk space or remote access from the linux box on the desktop. It wasn't easy, but I simply stuck to my insistance that I _needed_ this (only one example required) and that I was meeting the company's requirements. Nowdays, that situation is on my checklist to determine if I want to work there. The really funny thing about the initial email is the amount of interest in the followups and their meanderings. -- Windows 2001: "I'm sorry Dave ...
