However, getting your prompt back NO LONGER MEANS THAT YOUR PRINTOUT HAS STARTED. You will receive mail when your printout has FINISHED. Those who have used `nohup' with `ms' or `format' need no longer do so, since you will get your prompt back quickly anyway. If you have not used `nohup', then you needn't do anything differently. -- David Trueman @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!david
