When I tried to send this (with an attached zip file of the output of my test script) to the PowerPC list, I got a bounce message back saying I’m not allowed to send attachments to the list.
So… If you want to see the output of the below script send me an off-list request and I’ll mail it to you individually. Is there a better way? Enjoy!
