I realize it'll break a lot of existing installations, but heck we're in the 90s now and we may as well leave the cruft behind along with Men At Work and Barry Manilow and at least bring the printcap file into the mid-80s or so. Do us a favor, though, and provide a printcap conversion program? Pretty please? Sure, you and I have the bits memorized, but the rest of the world doesn't. :-) After a decision's made, I'll try to have changes to the printing section of the handbook timely. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA My girlfriend's so intense... She woke me up the other night and asked, "If you could tell exactly when and how you were going to die, would you want to know?" "Heck no," I said, "Why?"
