Indeed, there is not a heck of a lot of room on here (I have the development package); only a few man pages (mostly for stuff I got on the net, and a few pieces of local stuff); it is somewhat of a nuisance, but I can certainly understand a company partitioning the system. Even without the development package, ten megs is not much. and I've stripped the thing myself even more (got rid of spell and its froofraw; chucked out useless phototypesetting utilities; that sort of thing) so I can keep at least a few days news online at a time. -- from the blithering idioms of josh gordon {ihnp4,ucbvax,cbosgd,decwrl,amd70,fortune,zehntel}!dual!joshua!josh
