To fix the question marks in ls, use --show-control-chars. However, my ls man page says that this is the default... most likely we're using different versions of GNU ls. If this fixes things, then try tarring and untarring something and then use ls to see if tar broke anything or not. -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://null.cc.uic.edu/~andy/ "IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS A WORD.
