Given the level at which the questions in this and your previous postings have been, it sounds as though, although you're using an OS that costs nothing, you would do well to invest in some basic UNIX books. Or at least read the manual pages. Your second question is a chmod question. Read the man page. Your third question is also in the "it's in the man page" category. Continue to ask questions, certainly. But it doesn't seem like you've expended even the smallest effort to find the answers yourself. Many of them are as close as your keyboard. Try "man man" for starters. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu Home page: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois Software: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software
