The paper he mentions is available from the Academic Computing Services Library and Document Sales office, 218 Evans Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720 (415) 642-5205, or in the manual, or in the USENIX manual set (Programmer's manual, Supplementary Documents). >another person (whose message I am embarrassed to admit that I lost), >suggested that I contact UCB, Corey Hall.

Second of all, I guess you get what you pay for when you get free advice. Also, the AT&T (SYSV I guess) version was hacked (I hear by Mark Horton) so you may check into that before taking the Arnold paper verbatim... /jordan ------- ORAL: "...Hey! Jordan!..."
