Related question: where is the source? I looked in the obvious srcubin.* series, but could not find it there. I then searched through all the others (except gnu.*, which is missing one segment at the local mirror) without success. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
