I suppose that the final target files could be compared against the source files, and then a rebuild done if necessary. Sounds like a neat hack. I have no desire to do so now, of course, but I'll push it on my list. >> Failing that, anybody know where to get inexpensive SCSI hard drives? > Depends on your notion of `inexpensive'.

Problem is, I'm one of the few SCSI users in San Angelo, so secondhand drives are hard to come by. I inadvertantly fried my last one, when I was mounting it to keep it from getting fried. :-( Happy hacking, joelh -- Joel Ray Holveck - joelh@gnu.org - http://www.wp.com/piquan Fourth law of programming: Anything that can go wrong wi sendmail: segmentation violation - core dumped
