Pando,

Sorry if my post seemed abusive. I understand all the points made by you, just that I am frustrated.

Yes i tried metalink search and docs, could not locate anything. Another suggestion was long is deprecated/desuppored satatype from V8.0 on (dont know i that is true).

Guess I got to mind my words before flaming; pardon me once more. This forum is an exmple of succesfull cooperative work.

Well I will be pleased if somebody can point me in the right direction.
