I thought about this a bit, but if you thought C News had to stand on its head to more-or-less-portably figure out how much space was available, well, finding out inodes is worse. And *most* systems run out of space first. One could modify spacefor to check inodes as well, but it's none too quick as it is. -- 1961-1969: 8 years of Apollo. | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 1969-1989: 20 years of nothing.| uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
