I posted it. Let me tell youwhat I did so someone might tell me what I did wrong. I binsciied the archive and then uploaded all 5 parts. I then used the cat command in Unix to concatenate the files into two groups. When I look at the concatenated files, they all contain the FiLeStArTfIlEsTaRts from all 5 parts. (Part 1 had the first 3, Part 2 had the last 2). However, when I looked at the posted message, the filestarts were gone. I remedied the problem by just posting each part separately, but I'd like to figure out what I messed up so that it won't happen again. -Scott > > -Greg T. > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >^ Any resemblance between the above | ARPANet : gt0t+@andrew.cmu.edu ^ -- = R.
