We're probably abusing the list here ...
You can imprint a record-oriented structure onto a stream format
by using tags in the stream but trying to support a stream by using
a record format is really ugly (not impossible). It is desirable
to have a format that makes it easy to build higher

Thanks again. I'm slowly learning how apt/dpkg
The exact same thing happened to me. I normally update anything

Sluggers,
I'm looking for some advice in regards to user and group account management.

been asked to deploy it from a central server rather than running a PC

of planning the next issue and are trying to decide on a cover disk, and
