A 16-bit site need only find a >32-bit neighbor that would be willing to process the maps for them. It's not so simple, and the problem is worse than Peter indicates. lsuc is a 32-bit machine with 1 megabyte of memory, of which UNIX takes 300K. Pathalias will not run on the current "mod.map"s in the remaining ~700K. Dave Sherman The Law Society of Upper Canada Toronto -- { ihnp4!utzoo pesnta utcs hcr decvax!utcsri } !lsuc!dave
