I was upgrading from my 5.2.0 CD that somebody burned for me last January. I'll have to grepthru the script, see why the "-p" flag was a no-op.

Whatever happened was likely my fault somewhere along the line; in any case, some by-hand hacking should be able to resolve this. thanks much, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
