Whereas I was working with different flavours of Unix as far back as 1986.

I'm still finding this much more difficult than I think it should be. Maybe I've just got a mental block. I have read about 100 pages of documentation on configuring X, and, as I said before, understood about 50% of it. I have even tried experimenting (and got my filesystem burned in the process). -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd. PC & Unix consultancy & programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.trumphurst.com/
