Would someone email a copy to me for inclusion in the handbook? (I've been to busy to do anything but random sampling of the mailing lists and article in question slipped by.) I think I'll make a chapter of "Technical Tidbits" for things like this. We already have a few things, like memory utilization and the booting process that would be good companions for such a chapter. I've also got a few "Terry Lambert Sermons" on assorted topics that I've saved. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
