ASSET is a free resource. It's just what happens when the US government runs a software repository -- they want to be able to "Carefully" track all access to the system, so they require you to fetch everything after logging in with an authorized account. So, I guess you could say the US government is guilty :-) (I'm sure if I've misspoke, somebody from ASSET will correct me). >-- >Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.
