Colburn (mark) Hey. Just wondering what release of Unix the 3b1 beta would be testing? 3.0 or 3.5+? 3.0 only supports 8character varible names, and there are a *lot* of us out here that can't afford the $300-$500 to upgrade the os, dev kit, and all our goodies. Core question of all this: Will 3.0 support <8 character filenames? -- Skate UNIX or go home, boogie boy... J.
