I'm getting the message "try again" whenever I put something in the background, it completes then I try to do a ls I ocassionaly get the message "try again". I looked at code for sh and it looks like it's gagging on a fork ( sorry about the pun). Does anybody have any ideas? Now for a much rehashed topic. I have 1.3, how do I get to 1.5? email is prefered on this so as not to waste bandwidth. Since this is being posted from a friend's account, send replies to pur-ee!mdbs!ted. If that doesn't get thru, send to the below address, and it will get to me. Thanks. -- rick cassady Usenet : mentor.cc.purdue.edu!aka Bitnet : cassady@vm.cc.purdue.edu
