The old name will still work, but only if you prefix | the string argument with a fourteen-digit code. And soon afterward will come, from Berkeley, the bsdf() function, which will be greatly and somewhat non-portably expanded in function (and a little buggy); to be released at the same time as their new long distance network, which will provide long names for exchanges and symbolic links between phones :-) --bsa -- Brandon Allbery @ North Coast Xenix | the.world!ucbvax!decvax!cwruecmp! 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, Ohio | {atvax!}ncoast!{tdi1!}bsa (216) 524-1416 \ 44131 | E1439@CSUOHIO.BITNET (friend's acct.) | BALLBERY (161-7070) on MCI Mail ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Keeping the Galaxies safe for Civilization... :-)
