If you're wondering why you copied and pasted this in it didn't work but just constantly showed you the stats for the directory you were in when you executed it, then make sure you replaced the " (double quotes) with ' (single quotes). Otherwise your shell will expand the stuff in between the ` ` rather than taking it literally (in general, " means everything in here is a string, but expand what you can whilst ' means everything in here is a string, don't expand anything). -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wienand.org ********************************************************************** CAUTION: This message may contain confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.
