Go for it. ;) No breakage will happen, although i don't see much need to enable the old stuff. I couldn't even remember all the config file syntax when i had to use HDB, let alone now where Taylor config is way easier. Anyway, my only concern would be the added bloat, not any suspectible breakage. Btw., i'm also using UUCP on a daily basis, it's the only/best working batch file transmission protocol still, and as such far better suited for a dialup site than anything else. Jordan, feel free to go ahead re-enabling the old config file parsers for the true masochists. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
