Sim,

I want to thank you very much for at least responding to my question -
something no one else has done!

Unfortunately, I am being told that 'crypt' has been disabled.
Therefore, this is not a usable solution for me.

It seems like that on this list there are MANY questions and so few
answers. A few questions get answered and most are getting ignored.

And, some of the answers are so far out in left field that it is
hilarious! "Must be your computer isn't strong enough", "My computer is
a PIII..."

But, I can't even get in to the back room, and no one seems to have a
solution.
