Bruce, you are somewhat wrong. The truth is, i can't use nearly nothing coming along this newsgroup. This is a BITNET host, meaning it's using EBCDIC code for transmission (Extraneous Bits Cause Destruction In Communications...). Moreover, someone munges TABs an produces 4 spaces instead of it, and, more worse, someone is removing trailing blanks from the postings, making nearly every context diff unusable. I am used to get the important things from a nearby fileserver, and your modified kernel is on the bottom of my importance list (remember, i'm using minix on an ST). Just a suggestion : Would you (and i mean *everyone*) please send more soft- ware in uuencode format ? That would be very good for those hanging on this [comments censored] bitnet | >Bruce Evans evans@ditsyda.oz.au -- ========================================================================= " This space intentionally left blank " Kai-Uwe Bloem, I5110401@DBSTU1.BitNet, ...!unido!dbstu1.bitnet!i5110401, I5110401%DBSTU1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CCS.CORNELL.EDU (or other known gateways) student of cs at Technische Universitaet Braunschweig / w-germany
