It's probably not a good thing to run under any circumstances. You should uninstall it and replace it with ippl, which does about the same thing, but in a more sane way. Since you're running slink, you should get the ippl sources from potato if you want to run it. noah PGP Public Key available at http://www.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html or by `finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBOHptfYdCcpBjGWoFAQFN7gQArfJvar50gIi22wIji4kGX/7e/UjcV1HU VE6BAYL4li8a1YFhXhQOM8bGkPziK+pM66JxgL27mS47/McO/JAqmNeuOQ4Fw39n yqndSXcsU9rmrOEXgazmlQeT0Ba4N1pWEuIWce5awch9fLizIdW5onM7H2hciMYG ssau4aAqdwo= =SA7E -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
