Cool :-) With your permission, Roderick, I'd like to forward your email to my editor at O'Reilly. And, anyone else on the list who either appreciated the PDF or have good results from it, _please_ take a minute to compose an appreciative email to O'Reilly. Right now, their impression is that there isn't much of a BSD market and that publishing "BSD Success Stories" wouldn't have much of an impact. That impression will never change if BSD users don't speak up. Dru
