Now, I may have read you wrong here, so if I'm off base.. ftp.apple.com (and apple.com) don't really have a whole lot of support inside Apple as anonymous ftp sites. As Mark J has told us many times, all the work on those systems is done on their own time, and, despite referring to it in APDA stuff, ftp.apple.com and apple.com aren't really recognized as official beasts, and don't get the hardware and manhour allocations that an offical thing would get. --- Jim Gaynor - AgVAX System Manager - Academic Computing - Ohio State University VMS: UNIX: Disclaimer : All opinions expressed here are mine and only mine.
