Beware this is on the fly so maybe something else. But anyway it is *very* limited what you need. I'm talking about SR10.1/BSD4.3/X11R3. I would like to thank Zubkoff (of Lucid *) for the undump-code, it is very useful when you just want plain UNIX. * = The name escapes me right now. -- -- -- | Regards, J|rgen N|rgaard ('|' is '\o{}' in \LaTeX{}) | | e-mail: jnp@tele.nokia.fi | telephone: <..>-358-0-511-5671 | -- mail: Nokia Telecommunications, PL 33, SF-02601 Espoo, Suomi Finland --
