The added files are no problem (server, routines) but I do a 'diff /usr/src/ucb/finger.c finger.c > diff.out' and it looks like gibberish to ME. What is the preference here? Some of the entries just look like: 487a544,546 > fflush(stdout) ; > remote : > doremote() ; it seems to me you would have to be pretty lucky to decode that, especially in the case of finger.c which you probably hacked already. Suggestions welcome. -Barry Shein, Boston University
