Conforming to FreeBSD lists remits is part of the co-operation, & a requirement to post to lists. Read, memorise & conform by posting to list with most appropriate remit on a per thread basis. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, cumulative like a play script, & indent with "> ".
