I have been unable to get mailx to initialize with either /usr/lib/mailx/mailx.rc or ~/.mailrc, both of which should work according to the documentation. What's wrong? 2. The bad block scanning routine in fdisk only does one scan. Also, showbad doesn't show anything on a scanned disk. How can I be really sure that I've picked up all the bad blocks? Is there any any public domain software out there that gives greater assurance? Thanks in Advance! -- Seth J. Bradley UUCP: uunet!lll-winken!dalek!sjb Internet: lll-winken.llnl.gov!dalek!sjb
