Since cnews now remembers the answers to previous runs of build's questions, it would be a relatively simple job to create a separate shell script called something like "build-defaults" that examined the system and created an initial set of default answers. Looking in the C library for strchr, symlink, etc. and looking for chown and chgrp are pretty simple, and they don't have to be 100% accurate, since they are only *defaults*. Plus, you wouldn't have to run it if you were politically opposed to Configure. -- "I hear you guys deal with such dreck | Karl Fox, Morning Star Technologies as SNA and X.25." -Ed Vielmetti | karl@MorningStar.Com
