Can anyone tell me why B news feels that it must do a 'system' instead of an 'exec' when replying to news. If you did an 'exec' you wouldn't have to worry about your `'`s and '/'s getting diddled with. I grant that 'system()' is more portable, but in this case its use does not seem warranted. S. McGeady
