Papers, pointers, etc appreciated. I am not interested in results from other operating systems, I don't believe they would have any applicability to the question. However, very informal results would be appreciated. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | {xylogics,uunet}!world!bzs | bzs@world.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD
