I haven't used aosd_cat in a while, but if this information is now in the manual page or README file, then I agree that the bug can be closed. If not, please add it since it would be very helpful to users. Thanks. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
