I would have given this back to the author to let him post it, yet I have a better chance of sleeping with a Playmate tonight than I do of getting mail down that bang-path. I waited to see whether he would post it but he hasn't after a day and half. Please direct any comments to Mr Hovell. --Begin forwarded artilce-- This will undoubtedly cause great gnashing of teeth and much breast-beating by those eager to defend the 'non-commercial' aspect of the net. The truly pure-of-heart would be advised to hit 'n' at this point, since this posting is rated 'R'. But here goes anyhow: This document (Frequently Asked Questions About UNIX), if I don't miss my guess, could eventually become a *really* handy guide - and may grow to a compendium of considerable size. Is there a possibility that it could be set up with, say, Nutshell, to have permission to publish it from time to time - at a profit for editing, indexing, and distribution (*not* creation), of the copy? If it were started off with that intent, and a willing publisher were to step forward, I'd sure rather have a handy desk-reference than a bunch of printed out 8 1/2 x 11 computer sheets. All flames will be donated to my favorite charity. -- Bud Hovell :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: : UUCP: {sun!nosun | tektronix!{percival|bucket} | attmail}!whizz!bbh : : TELEX: 152258436 (Whizz/Bud Hovell) VOICE: +1 503-636-3000 : : USPO: McCormick & Hovell, Inc., PO Box 1812, Lake Oswego, OR USA 97035 : :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: "Vote NO!" --End forwarded article-- -- (setq mail '("tale@pawl.rpi.edu" "tale@itsgw.rpi.edu" "tale@rpitsmts.bitnet")) "I realize the Internet isn't the whole world, but it is the center of it." -- Greg Woods
