Keep on shunning. I stupidly proceeded to unpack this sucker (against my better initial judgement). Here is what crawled out: bx - data bx.c bx.doc clear - data fortune - data fortunes menu.001 strstr.c strstr.o - data usrfile welcome What is "bx" supposed to be? Oh, I know, an executable! For what?? Oh, at least bx.c is there. What is "clear", or "fortune"? Can I link to "strstr.o"? I guess that is what the "alt" in alt.sources means. These are an alternative form of source ... one that cannot be used. -- bmw@isgtec.uucp [ ..uunet!utai!lsuc!isgtec!bmw ] Bruce Walker
