As a database management system, it has some shortcomings (performance, type checking, blah, blah, blah feature). I suppose someone must've found it useful (the author, the Debian packager). Much of the functionality can be had with "cut", "paste", "join", "sort", and "uniq". When I looked at it, it didn't seem to provide alot of added value over textutils... The biggest benefit was all data was stored in plain text files (portability). -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
