										iCount = 0;
										strBuild = null;
					   			}
					   		}

					}
				}

		}
	}
}

Now the only remaining issue is that it strips \r \n and replaces it with tabs and i have no idea why.

Net::DNS::typesbyname() Illegal Arguement error.

I was reading this in my logs the other day and finally to decided to fix it. The fix was getting the new version of NET::DNS from the DAG REPOS.

Free as in Free Beer, Free: Open Source App of the week.

If you get sick of having to go grab codecs to watch your favorite divx( or whatever encoding) this baby is for you. I have yet to find something that this sweet little app can't handle. It has almost totally replaced media player and itunes for me. The one lacking element is that the library management and playlist management is counter intuitive and fairly cumbersome.

Awesome Features list
