useful information. i was torn about responding, reluctant to accommodate the devil's formats, revelling in the fact that whenever i have to deal with him, i get to name the price. the quality of the sysutils package is yet another reason to appreciate gnu/linux. i'd only ever used it for memtest. a couple of years back, in a semi-drunken discussion on the merits of *nix/linux, i made a claim that there was nothing the devil could do that *nix/linux couldn't undo. more ammo. thanks, sean. ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
