Well, Jeff, it depends on if she had any clothes on. :-) And even then, the fact that you have to ask about signals indicates that standards, if they exist, are not widely known. And there may be more than one set of signals. There's the V7 set, for example, and the 4.2 BSD set, and oh, this isn't net.unix-wizards? Sorry. :-) -- This may not even represent my opinion, much less AMD's. Phil Ngai (408) 749-5790 UUCP: {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra}!amdcad!phil ARPA: amdcad!phil@decwrl.ARPA
