A few weeks ago I posted a random name generator to comp.sources.misc. It's worked for some people (thanks for the fan mail!), but others have had a problem with it generating nasty gibberish like this: cro.kle.gla.gla.gla.ria.rd.gla.ehc.gla.fla.mtu.fne.hra.crh.hna.ee.crh.bur.o- instead of the beautiful gibberish it's supposed to produce. Unfortunately, I've been unable to get it to do this here. It works perfectly on a Mac (with MPW) and a Sun3, but (users tell me) fails on BSD 4.3 and Ultrix-32 versions 3.0 and 3.1. As I can't reproduce the fault, I can't do anything to fix it. If anyone out there had this problem and managed to fix it, could they please tell me the answer or post it here? -- Richard Kennaway SYS, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. Internet: jrk@sys.uea.ac.uk uucp: ...mcvax!ukc!uea-sys!jrk
