Bo, it worked fine. Thank you.

I don't know if you or someone collect any info regarding successfull
installs.
Mine is XP Pro server and a couple of XP Pro (and Home!) clients thru
sserver,
some on intranet, some spread all over the world.
Server running 2.5.03 Build 2151
Clients running CVSNT Client 2.5.03.2238
