How did the previous email help? I did not get any reply when I asked

That is no measure of someones understanding. There are other OS's as 
well. I have worked on Solaris and other *unix* OS's for over 20+ years. 
This was an oversight on my part and I apologize, but instead of 
questioning my expertise it would have been helpful to say what might 
have caused it.
