I finally bit the bullet and picked up autoup22 by downloading autoup.tar.gz, unpacking it, chmod +x ./autoup.sh && ./autoup.sh. I answered c to the what method and it crashed with 'unexpected EOF' (See attached script output).
I can't see anything wrong with autoup.sh (which see) - I checked () "" <<__EOF__ __EOF__. Anyone have a clue? -- ----------------------------------------- Ralph Winslow [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Insert sardonic phrase here>
