Any ideas why? Is there a better way to do this? ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Conrad Sabatier Date: 23-Aug-99 Time: 21:37:26 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
