I've recently switched to C news, so please excuse my novice questions. I'm getting the following in errlog each day: awk: string wesco:world,na,usa,c ... too long to print record number 24 Where do you think it's coming from, and what can I do about it? Thanks. -- David Beckemeyer (david@bdt.COM) | "Yea I've got medicine..." as the Beckemeyer Development Tools | cookie cocks a his Colt, "and if P.O.

Simply create two entries in your sys file for wesco, each with half the longer line. -- Paul Gillingwater, paul@actrix.gen.nz
