And, FWIW, I recommend reading the "Unix Hater's Handbook" [1] for anyone who is still convinced the "old traditional Unix way" (TM) is the way to go. It isn't. Original Unix sucks. I have used HP-UX, OSF/1 and old versions of Solaris and they are all horrible to use. Adrian > [1] https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf -- .''`.
