The reason was that he thinks, that the section that is now in the handbook might be too academic "from programmer to programmer". Uhhh.... I hust saw into the handbook, might it be, that this is a new section or that it was rewritten :-( 2 hours for /dev/null, *sigh*, maybe I better had asked before doing the work... But maybe there is demand for something like a "life example" ? -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ $$ Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de $$ pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<< "Ich bleibe bei der Aussage und trotze den Flames. :-)" Ulli Horlacher 02/96
