OOhh! Dim memories bubble to the surface (not unlike swamp gas ;-) That list
is on MS's online tech support. I have run across it many times while looking
for what I _really_ wanted there.

OT: I'd really like to figure out how MS's techweb works someday...I can
usually find the information I want, but it's usually in the 135th document
retrieved; the docs that their server flags as most relevant are usually
really far off from what I'm looking for. Until I finally started looking at
the 3rd or 4th page of results I used to give up and go to AltaVista or orther
search sites to see if someone else figured it out.
