My apologies if this is obvious, I don't know anything about ed, and really don't want to 8-). Could someone tell me how to write an ed script that will read in a file, find the line containing a ')', delete all lines which follow, then append another file to what remains of the first? I'm afraid it does have to be ed, it will go on a boot floppy that doesn't have room for much else. Please mail it to me, this is unlikely to appeal to anyone else. Adrian Miranda uunet!clark!ade
