Sorry, I am my own ISP. MHSC.NET and ROOT-SERVICE.NET use TLDA root zones
derived from the ORSC and  there is a SHOP TLD there that is not the same as
yours. That is the essence of the PITA. I know of four major root zone
publishers, besides ROOT-SERVICE.NET (Owned by MHSC). Do you really think
that NewNet, the new kid on the block, is the only player outside of ICANN?

Sorry, in this day and age of virii and trojans, I don't run executables
that I don't know. All executables at MHSC is either compiled from sources,
comes in as a CDROM, or is updated from a recognised vendor site, where we
have a service agreement for a purchased product. Besides, it won't run on
my Linux servers anyway. I also make it a practice to not encourage
single-platform solutions. That is, until Bill Gates starts sending some
cash my way<g>.
