Tons of thanks to you. So cool ! All praises for you, sir !! Have you
tried your hand in teaching ?
Actually I was about to rm some directory, when I got this mail.
Instead of going to this link and that link, it has cleared my doubts in a
zippy. Otherwise while searching the net or browing the pointed link, I
tend to get entangled in more irrelevent data although interesting. And in
the event the main point get side-lined.
I have already compiled it for future reference.
Regards & thanks in advance !
