And it is essentially bug free. That means: I took every possible precaution to ensure that NO mail ever :-) get's lost. I posted it to comp.sources.unix about a month ago... But since that newsgroup seems to be delayed (somewhat :-), I just reposted it to alt.sources today. -- Sincerely, berg%cip-s01.informatik.rwth-aachen.de@unido.bitnet Stephen R. van den Berg.
