If so would it not be possible to do: cd /win/WINDOWS strings * |grep -i BSD cd SYSTEM [SYSTEM32] strings * |grep -i BSD [or use a "for i in `ls` ; do strings $i |grep -i BSD ; done] [Yes I know it's not clean but it a very easy/fast] to just search for all BSD code in Miscrosoft exe's/dlls ? I'm not on a BSD box now, but I think this shouldn't take too long, and in theory should work. www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
