That is, when you save "file" it renames the last version of it to "file~". I'm looking for an option or flag to tell Gnu not to do this, just leave the new version. - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps on the VAX 8650 running Ultrix 2.0-1 at Indiana University. creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu "F-14 Tomcat!
