So moving from there to > bourne shell is not very difficult. Sh can also do all those "silly jobs", and you won't have to "move from there to the bourne shell". But seeing that you also don't like csh, I guess I'm preaching to the choir :) > > P.S.#2: After the Technion moves to another shell, my next project will be to > > do something about its fixation with pine ;) > > I considered mutt.

The Technion is so fixated on pine that they don't even consider the possibility that someone will want a different mailer on tx. Or maybe I'm wrong, and by now that are fixated on Outlook, to the point that the don't care about pine either? It's not that pine is bad, by the way - I am just curious why they can't show a little more pluralism. Especially when users get such tiny quotas and can't really install stuff for themselves. -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Sep 17 2001, 29 Elul 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |For people who like peace and quiet - a http://nadav.harel.org.il |phoneless cord. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
