We use a program called, 'lsof', list of open files. It gives us a list of the other open files on the machine. I suspect using archie might find it for you, or it might be at nova.cc.purdue.edu in the next archives. I will ask my co-systemadmin for where he got it if you can't find it. -Erik eoliver@ralph.cs.haverford.edu
