It could be replaced by a 3-line awk script. Nothing spectacular at all - heck, it wasn't even pedestrian! Was it really necessary to post this in comp.sources.misc? Shouldn't the moderator cut out "noise" sources like this? John -- John Robert LoVerso Xylogics, Inc. 617/272-8140x284 loverso@Xylogics.COM Annex Terminal Server Development Group

As I recall, somewhere in the "charter" for comp.sources.misc, it mentions something about being a place to post prompt generators, and other little tidbits, that don't seem to belong anywhere else. Given the size of the posting, it probably really doesn't matter, anything that's small you can just 'n' over, and if it's big, you might want it anyway. I say go ahead... what the heck. :-) -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jaye Mathisen,systems manager Internet: icsu6000@caesar.cs.montana.edu| | 410 Roberts Hall BITNET: icsu6000@mtsunix1.bitnet | | Dept. of Computer Science |
