My biggest complaint is that half the tools, such as 'ps', 'tar', etc . . ., only seem to accept half as many options as other UNIX platforms, so I always have learn two versions of each command -- one for all UNIXes except Sun, and Sun. Example: try tying 'ps aux' on Sun and see what happens.

I quite often think that Sun, in laying out the file system not only used some random path generator, but also made sure the file was not in the same place as any other UNIX variant. --rdp -- Rich Payne http://talisman.mv.com ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
