Hi Sylvain, thanks it must be too late at night... I'd had a quick look
at that site before but missed the "attention dummy, this will work for
you" I was hoping to see in relation to two installs ;-)
-Mind you, after getting a coupla good tips for this, one suggested I
need not bother with 2 versions if merely going from 6.4.1 to 6.4.2RC...
just upgrade.
But maybe it's time I lived on the edge and had a 7.x to tinker with as
well... :-)
-shane.
