Works for me! No, most of my problems would go away if I had some less exotic UNIX systems. Henry knows that, we've had enough E-mail discussions about the problems with news on old System III/286 boxes. In fact that was why I went to C news in the first place, after Henry pointed out that it ran in small model (at least it ran on the PDP-11). Still, there are things that could be done in the installation and admin scripts that would make things a lot easier. Henry sees them as coddling the user. I see them as cheap (and obvious) enhancements. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180. 'U` peter@ferranti.com
