Reason my try failed was that I was searching for "foo" instead of "vbc.tar/vbc.tgz/vbc.tar.gz. if I have a foo.c|tar|tgz it is junked.

I's gonna put this stuff in a sh script so I never have to waste ttwo++ hours. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-seven years of service to the Unix community.
