Ironic, isn't it, that the Amiga supports longer filenames than some versions of Unix? While I acknowledge these difficulties and will strive to create filenames unique to the first 14 characters for distribution, I generally believe in long, descriptive names for things, and the names not being real short on vowels, either. Nonetheless, I hope some of you are enjoying chatterbox! -- -- uunet!sugar!karl "It takes a smart man to know when he's stupid." -- -- Barney Rubble -- Usenet access: (713) 438-5018
