Well companies out there still run their business on RPG/COBOL platforms, and that skill is still useful in that job role. Of course, there are "antediluvian" Unix installations out there - but in the Philippines these are few and far between. Perhaps the original poster is doing one of these. Still, people don't become fulltime sed/awk developers, and anyone who wants to be a sysad with scripting knoweldge won't get much bang out of the buck he spends on learning those. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
