Thanks.  Always nice to have real coders sanity check anything I've written with a "thumbs up" response. (I'm more a hardware guy)

And sscanf was working like poo -- so I figured I'd parse it differently with something that didn't seem so sensitive.

I'll take a look at the latest.... as mentioned, 2.6.5 is what's on my CentOS system with nothing later (yet) so I just downloaded the SRPMS to work on.

but I also have 2.7.3 downloaded -- so I'll see what I can do with that.

Yea - the comments were just temporary to keep the old stuff in my view while I was re-writing around it.

Then once it worked and I planned on removing it.

I'll send along something more finished once I'm done.

Thanks again!
