If so, is there a solution? More than likely, you have a line that is split on or around line 52. I have this trouble often when a newsreader or editor splits a line at about column 76 and puts the remainder on the next line (adding a line to the file). The only solution is to edit the file, finding the split line, and making it one once again (with vi you use a 'J' I think). Good luck..... -- Gerard. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerard Hickey hickey@ctron.com Cabletron Systems, Inc. +1 603 337 3650
