  The very latest version of cron fixed the hardcoded pathname problem; 
in fact, I wrote cron from scratch for the IIgs, rather than port it.
I wanted something small and tidy, and from-scratch usually gets you
that.  I have my system set up with UNIX volume names. In the initial
cron release I forgot to change those, but when we went through a big
cron bug-busting session for a while I fixed that at the same time.

  Um, er, um... I haven't put them up there.  There's one more thing I
wanted to do to the drivers, and there is a bug in rz (it only accepts
one file at a time.. e.g., if you "sz a b c d e" on the UNIX end
rz will only download 'a'.)  I guess it won't hurt to go ahead and
upload them.

You mean on your GS you have a partition called /etc/ and another one called
/usr/ and another one called /dev/, etc...?

So is the new one on pindarus?

Hehe, not exactly...

>So is the new one on pindarus?

It doesn't seem to be there...perhaps Jawaid can upload that when he
uploads sz and the new drivers...
