My company dictates the policy and if you want to remain gainfully employed you comply. I have more latitude than most here since I'm a system administrator but that really is not the point. <snip> > so much, it would be nice to have a >consistent standard since they don't have the time to be worrying about >whether it runs in DOS or Windows.
