	That's nice, go back to sleep, you stupid ASSHOLE!

	As an early item in the thread noted, your "precious" little
sysadm scripts DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY!  If the d*mned /etc/disk*
routines worked right (i.e. didn't assume something illegal about the
particular number of drives and which drive was being installed) then
none of this painful affair would have made it to the net in the first
place.

	Besides, I've probably forgotten more about the sysadm scripting
system than you ever knew.

	Its no wonder that ISC had a bad reputation for customer support
if you are an example of their finest.  This is the second time that I
have found problems with pieces of ISC code and had absolutly no help
from ISC on the problem.  "Call your dealer" is nice, but what do you do
when its more likely that your dealer calls you when he has a problem
with the product! 

	And YES, I am quite angry about your flip little response.  Will
I keep using ISC products?  (probably - they're a d*mn sight better IMHO
than the other '386 unixs that I have played with.)
