Thanks for all your replies. I did reply personally to each one but most of them got bounced back to me. Until I've found out why I thought I'd better thank you here. As a new Unix'er I get masses of conflicting information so you've all been a great help. Trading execution speed for space ? Hmm .... I do want to live ! It's an interesting idea though. I don't know about UNIX systems but some systems do slow down as they're running out of space at which point Sys Admin has to do a lot of work chasing people about their files. This idea helps pass the responsibility on to the users. -- *==============================================================================* * Linda Birmingham. | * * Computer Centre | Voice: +44 895 74000 Ext 2561 * * Brunel | ARPA: linda%ee.brunel.ac.uk@ucl-cs.arpa * * The University of West London | * * Uxbridge | UUCP: ...!ukc!ee.brunel.ac.uk!linda * * UB8 3PH | * * UNITED KINGDOM | JANET: linda@uk.ac.brunel.ee * *==============================================================================*
