(from SCO+awfull, also {S}CowFool ;-) But that gives me a solid argument to bring to my financial management in order to convince them to buy me a *real thing* (like ESIX or DELL UNIX or Mach) to put on my desktop instead of the well-known patchwork named SCO ODT: if they have dropped "Professional" out of the market because of its look-and-feel resemblance with lotus 1-2-3, they can drop xenix because of the IBM one or ODT because of the well-known AT&T patent. #include <StdandardDisclaimer.h> -- _ _ __ Via Aleardo Aleardi, 12 - 20154 Milano (Italy) | | | _ _| (__ PHONE : +39 2 3315328 FAX: +39 2 3315778 | | |(_)(_||_|___) Srl E-MAIL: luke@modus.sublink.ORG ______________________________ Software & Services for Advertising & Marketing
