Is what really scares me is one could rewrite most of /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin in perl and decrease the size of the installed system while not slowing it down any :-(. While almost all of the binaries are 4K larger than 1.1.5, many of them are 8K larger :-(. And some of them have grown by leaps and bounds. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
