(don't forget to do it in binary mode) good luck! julian On Mon, 21 Sep 1998, SinTaX98 wrote: > hi there, I am currently a student at SDSU and there they use Unix, and > I am interested in learning all about it, and I thought that if I put it > on one of my systems that I could achieve a better undersanding of the > system.
