Who says you can't quit carrying them anyway? Go ahead and drop them right now. I'm sure that putting !comp.binaries in your sys file will save you gobs of wasted space. I mean, really, nobody is *forced* to get all of any hierarchy, even comp, and whether or not you like small machines they *are* reasonable comp groups. It's obvious that some work needs to be done on the top level of the hierarchy, but is this the place? How about a 'humanities' or 'technical' set of groups? -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . / \ \_.--._/ Xenix Support -- it's not just a job, it's an adventure! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'
