Perhaps "people" don't have tcsh or they don't want to use it. There are people who enjoy using there own resources to affect a desired change. They then like to share their methods with the world. If you want to use tcsh, go ahead. Don't force people to use something you want them to use just because you are offended at seeing some novel ideas. If you want to gripe about bandwidth wasting, gripe about binary groups. Oh, also you need to fix your newsreader to append only one .signature and not two before you gripe about wasting bandwidth wastage again. :-) :-) -- John B.
