It is a bad thing to put blank lines into your sys file. Also, I have recently been using this format: dual:fa,mod,na,net,usa:: dual:ba,ca:: dual:to.dual:: (ignore the fact that we use batching) There is one line for the stuff we send everyone, one line for local sites, and one line for that particular site. Then I can just cut and paste lines around, editing only the first word and the to.xxx. I don't have to remember all the various distributions this way. -- Phil Ngai (408) 982-6825 {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra,intelca}!amd70!phil
