Yeah, I read this. That's where I got the pointer to the bboards.h file. >See the program bbexp.c in mh-6.6/support/bboards.

I went back and looked at the man page, and noticed an optional argument that I had missed before: namely the ability to specify which bboards you want bbexp to archive. This essentially means you need multiple bbexp lines in the crontab file rather than just one. Sorry to bother you all, I've only been reading for a couple of decades...I should get the hang of it soon ;-) +=====================================================+ | Michael Lamoureux (lamour%smiley@gateway.mitre.org) |
