Last time it looked ok was on a 9600 > baud terminal. from the man page: The output of rain is modeled after the VAX/VMS program of the same name. To obtain the proper effect, either the terminal must be set for 9600 baud or the -d option must be used to specify a delay, in milliseconds, between each update. A reasonable delay is 120; the default is 0. it looks fine with the delay. I like the games, although as long as they're easily available and things like "fortune" and "primes" stick around (preferably in /usr/games, because otherwise I'll just end up making my own /usr/games directory and symlinking those files from /usr/bin or wherever, because they're in /usr/games on every other system and I'm not really interested in having FreeBSD be pointlessly different if I can help it). chris ------------------------------- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net "I think," said Christopher Robin, "that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry." -- A.
