However, it is totally unaccessable to my organization and 99.9 percent of the rest of the UNIX community. I like 'pi' too. We all enjoy and appreciate hearing about the new and interesting features or approaches taken in V8 or other UNIXes, but try to avoid "bragging". It just makes us angry. Give me /proc and I'll pitch BSD job control. Deal? Cheers, -Doug-
