It is also VERY important that you tell your mailer to format messages at about 75 characters per line before we seond the badly formatted email monster after you. You may need to grab a snapshot from current.freebsd.org (ftp) but there may be a simpler solution. good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
