Admittedly, I tend to 'n' my way through unix-wizards in a hurry, but I don't recall seeing any discussion of the changes-to-be *here*. Was this all decided in news.groups, and if so, it might have made some sense to post a notice that the change was being considered. Of course, I might have overlooked it, but I can't imagine such a world-shaking change being made without everyone in unix-wizards inserting their $2e-2 as usual. :) mjr. -- Eagles may soar, free and proud, but weasles never get sucked into jet engines.
