Mine will only >process 20-30 lines/second. Xenix on a 286 blows that away. There is an even bigger problem. If I install (with installit?) something on my system running Micoport Sys V/3.0 r3.0e. The next time I use awk (dfspace for example) for any thing, the system locks up and I have to power down and then back up. I don't knopw if anyone else has mentioned this, but it has existed since I got r2.2 at least. brian
