I just tried this because I hadn't seen the "AVAIL TOTAL" command before, and I saw something strange. When I ran it repeatedly, each time it gave a number 64 bytes higher than the last time. Now, either this is the most important news to hit the Amiga scene in years, (run it a few thousand times and get another meg!) or there's an 'undocumented feature' in the ARP1.3 AVAIL command. I just hope my machine won't crash before I can finish up here, now... I was smart enough to run it about a dozen times. On another topic, can someone please help me with my kill file. I'm still getting Marc B's posts. The line I tried most recently (and I've tried several) was "/ Marc Barrett /:a:j" (or something like that) but it only removes posts with that word in the subject line. I am using "rn" which is supposed to be fairly common. . <<<>>> -- |Ben Scott, professional goof-off and consultant at The Raster Image, Denver| |Available at FIDO address 1:104/421.2 & the Arvada 68K BBS at (303)424-9831| |"Racket?
