My best wishes.  Not regarding any of the platforms (though I run NT, but 
NOT with IIS, which I consider an abomination).  But changes are always 
rough.  When we were doing our authentication script the main thing we 
missed was an 'rsh' and having to substitute a telnet session 
instead.   I'm sure there are others.  The latest from www.activestate.com 
(free Perl) is excellent.
