Most Unix Guru's already have a Unix box up and therefore have the tools already! Or the knowledge on how to do it! Like I said, I don't think I'll use it, And I'm far from a Unix Guru. But I already have a Unix box and I'll use the tools there. So IMHO it should be geared for those that are comming from dos and should look/act dos.

First impressions matter. > Welp to make it look shiney pretty you either have to get pretty fancy with the code or use obj/libs, I don't fancy the idea of obj/libs .. I want source! Plain ol'text based is suffiecent<sp?> IMHO. (Sure be nice if Netscape had a spell checker, I *really* need it) Yea, I'm not to keen on using batch files on/for installation type stuff! Seems lame to me! I make some bad assumptions when I see apps that use batch files for installation. Just kinda turns my stomach. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...
