Last night I came across an English broadcast from Radio Japan and heard a segment of it that was teaching basic Japanese. So I came up with a few questions. 1) I know that Voice of Free China (from Taipei) also offers this kind of language instructions, does anyone know of any other SW broadcaster who does that in other languages? (German in particular) 2) If one knows more about the Radio Japan broadcast. (It was about 10:45 EST == 17:45UTC around 9500kHz) Such as exact time of broadcast. Thanks for the info. -- Wai Hung Leung wleung@matrox.com matrox!wleung

'Auf Deutsch Gesagt' (said in German) is a language course run by Deutschlandfunk (effectively the European outlet for external FRG programs). This is a series of four books and a 15 minute lesson every week. I think that it also runs on Deutsche Welle. I'll get you the address (I have their 'Hallo Friend' on my kitchen table at home so there's no problem there) Radio Nederland also did a dutch language course with a book and cassette.

This is actually the amount of time the server will keep the file open after a get-attributes call in anticipation of another request such as read-file. Individual applications differ on their ability to tolerate an inexact size for a file. Append operations (e.g. ">>foo") are quite likely to do the wrong thing, whereas straight copy operations are likely to work. "ls" options that require file attirbutes, such as "-p" or "-t", incur the cost of determining the file size even though they do not explicitly use it. Richard Ryniker IBM Research
