If you would make clear that your realize that your comments don't apply to those who are net connected, you wouldn't have everyone complaining. Your comments so far have been incorrect in how sup and ctm really work. No one would argue about upgrading ctm, but you seem to be making claims about both sup and ctm that don't apply to both. You ask who cares about those not net-connected, but your own comments seem to betray a prejudice against those who ARE net-connected. How about caring for both? That's why there's TWO tools, not one. > > -- > > ...computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh > only 1/2 tons. -- Popular Mechanics, March 1949 > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
