I haven't found any comprehensive and succinct documentation on X (the classic problem of documentation in computerland). -- Anthony _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
