Could be wrong, this is just a theory. And I (light the blue touch paper....) don't like tcsh (...and stand back! :o) Well, that's not really true. tcsh and I have this little (mis-)understanding - I try to do something, and it won't play nice. Ah well, there's always bash. (BURN THE HERETIC!) There's some really interesting stuff earlier in this thread, that demonstrates many of the problems in this industry. Anyway, whatever the ~LEGAL~ position, the US DOJ can't stop *BSD being ~better~ (a humble opinion, but mine own) than many commercial "real" UNIX variants :o) Dan -----Original Message----- From: Micke Josefsson [mailto:mj@isy.liu.se] Sent: 06 November 2000 09:09 To: John Galt Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; James G.
