Personally I do agree that this might not be the right group, but flaming won't help. (I have exchanged some very nice mails with people not reading their manuals and then asking FAQs, where we were insulting each us and enjoing it both :-)-O) However, if you had bothered to check, this is a very nice package, actually a marvelous effort and we are getting it for free. The obvious way would have been to ask the man to post the sources, which we still could do and ask if he had sources for unix in one's favourite flavour. > No one can help you get the files correctly to this group because it >isn't the right group! Get a life. This is nonsense! I can post whatever I like wherever I like, if I can take the heat (from the flames :-)-O). > AIDS means guys with vasectomies have to wear condoms too This is plain disgusting, or immature? (I am an MD and see patients with HIV occasionally, I can't find this funny at all) regards, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
