I believe bsd version is BSDI 1.x while bsd2 is BSDI 2.x . Just FYI, I didn't look at my -bsd version's top, but it exhibits memory consuming behavior (e.g. it gets much much slower due to swapping as it gets older and I do my usual job of opening 6 windows at once). -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
