Or perhaps you are pretending to be one       of those unhelpful linux helpers MikeS mentioned. I see Win tracks in       your header.              In any case, while man pages are useful, the only person such flippant       advice is useful is to someone who doesn't know that there are man pages.              Most people seeking linux help need information provided in a more       useful way than just what can be found in man pages, which are often       found to be informative but suboptimal for an individual and specific       question.              --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
