Chuck & BeachBum: Take your character deformation and flamage to either alt.flame, which is an alternate newsgroup specifically set up for flaming, or better yet, how about email to each other? I'm sure that it is satisfying to flame each other in a public forum, but do you think that the rest of the unix-pc users (and non pc'ers, for that matter) who read this group want to be participants in your personal "i'm-gonna-get-him-before-he-gets-me" war? I, for one, do not, and despite the good things you've BOTH had to say in the past, I've placed you both in my kill file (at least for the next month or so). Chuck - the xenix vs. unix thing: any competent programmer can whip a pseudo-portable application into shape on most any unix or unix-type machine. The guy wrote some code, and gave it away. For free. He did most of the work. I'm reading the code and making whatever changes will be needed for the sucker to run WELL on my 3b1. BeachBum - thanks for the code. Once again, net, I appologize for the waste of net.bandwidth, but I feel that this needed to be said before things got outta hand here, as I' ve seen in a lot of other groups. --- john salmi internet: boink!john@shamash.cdc.com software engineer domain: jsalmi@unix.eta.com eta systems, inc. uucp: {amdahl,rutgers}!bungia!shamash!boink!john st. paul, mn he: "i love you". she: "i love you too, but in a different way, the way that disappears when you leave the room".
