That "parochial" method is available on Ultrix machines, Masscomps, and even under Eunice, the Wollongong UNIX emulation for VMS. What a shame some vendors don't provide it.

I'll bet this method is available in SysVR4 :-) -- Dick St.Peters, GE Corporate R&D, Schenectady, NY stpeters@dawn.crd.ge.com uunet!dawn.crd.ge.com!stpeters
