Actually it appears to be a bit more elaborate than that. Months ago, I tried to make a rexx tool to download attachments from a group on yahoogroups. I stopped doing it when it was almost looking like a web browser :) It not only relies on setting/getting cookies, but also depends on a particular sequence of events: login -> set login cookie -> set session id cookie -> redirect to another server -> server checks session cookie -> if ok, forward to another server -> show message -> show ad page... I think you get the point. Missing one of these will return you either 404s, 403s, or even some stupid messages like "you're not supposed to be here" (really!). I can send you what I did if you wish to continue it. -- DoC **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2002 09:20:17 +0000 From: Patrick Ash Subject: Re: Libiconv Thanks.

If a compare is being done there may be an option to use DIFF instead of CMP and the test may pass. I know this happens in one of the SED tests. > make[1]: *** [check] Error 1 > > make[1]: Leaving directory `D:/libiconv-1.8a/tests' > Pat > > > -- > Patrick Ash > patash at comcast.net > > This OS/2 system uptime is 4 days, 07:47 hours and 01 second -- John
