Been in love with Emacs since 1980 on TOPS-20 and have used it through VMS and on to the 'OS of the people', UNIX. Even got to tell ol' Mr. Stallman, on campus, that I appreciated his editor. Beat what Digital had to offer at the time. Wow, if I followed such a path with DOS I'd be stuck on edlin. And LaTex ... don't even start on that, you'll be getting personal. frankm@cna.tek.com Sun Certified Solaris Systems Administrator ;} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PS: Back to work, must play with *code* and m4 to install sendmail.
