I just checked IRIX 3.3.1, and the almost most recent patch[*] for ULTRIX 4.0 and they both yield the same thing as previously. rdl [*] I got ANOTHER one yesterday from DEC - wish they would release when the code was little more steady, instead of these unending patches. I refuse to yield to the temptation of making a smart remark about users providing what little QC that DEC seems to be doing.
