That way the check travels with the data. Admittedly not as good as a CRC, which I can send out source for a simple program that does stdin to stdout and makes sure that the CRC equals argv[1] (spews on stderr if a match does not occur). Better than wc, but not as automatic. - -- Jim Hutchison UUCP: {dcdwest,ucbvax}!sdcsvax!hutch ARPA: Hutch@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu Madness, where would we be without it? sane. DES drugs cia ussr raygun laser
