Some have to install software at the user level, without administrator priviledges to do that configuration, or in a hardened virtual machine or a computer that is not really up to the task of handling everything with compression. So, while space nowadays seems "free", if small changes can tidy up a piece of sofware, why not implement them? Best, -- Juan José García Ripoll http://juanjose.garciaripoll.com http://quinfog.hbar.es
