Focus would be on files which have a wide audience and portability. I am interested in: o clever hacks o generating multiple customized copies from one master o mixing automatically-generated and user-generated data o portable shell coding techniques Comments and submissions welcome. -- VaX#n8 http://www.paranoia.com/~vax League of Non-aligned Wizards
