I have been asked to find out information about an organization called "/etc/canada". The person making the request thinks it is a vendors' organization. This person also tells me he doesn't mean "/usr/grp/...". Can someone help me out? tnx -- Jim Stewart, VE3SRJ UUCP: {utzoo,uunet}!mnetor!jim ARPA: jim%mnetor.uucp@uunet.uu.net BELL: (416)475-8980

Please excuse my poor spelling, I noticed it after I posted the article and it was scrolling off the screen. -- Jim Stewart, VE3SRJ UUCP: {utzoo,uunet}!mnetor!jim ARPA: jim%mnetor.uucp@uunet.uu.net BELL: (416)475-8980

Uh, in the 50 million words or so of the Oxford English Dictionary text,
there are 2,051 occurrences of `organization', and 466 of
`organisation.' So you don't have to hang yourself this time.
