Well, I reckon (for what it's worth) that my net experience is better with BSD than it ever was with MS. Have you seen the look of horror on Internet Exploders' face when you ask it to do a ftp? It takes it ten minutes to figure out that there are no advertising banners, no pictures, and, horror of horrors, most ftp sites have the sheer gall to be using something other than Windoze! I haven't tried it yet, but a friend reckons it is far quicker to drop to a DOS box to ftp, than to use Exploder. Regards Igor *********************************** Why does rain come straight down?
