From what I know of the way they've done it, the claim should be correct unless they've botched something. They've even found a fix, albeit a stopgap one, for the problem of programs that comparepairs to tell whether two files are one and the same. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,decvax,pyramid}!utzoo!henry
