Can't agree with that 100 per cent of the time, tho; 99.98% perhaps. Once in a great while someone is so out of line that ya just gotta say "get out of town." Perhaps it shouldn't be snide exactly, but what about the troll who won't quit? But, that'll never happen on newbies@, most likely. <?> Finally, is this something we might agree on? Technical questions aren't permitted, but "your experiences" are.... Newbie A: "I'm having trouble with foomatic..." Newbie B: "I had trouble with foomatic, but by changing the $bar variable in my $file, I was able to overcome this difficulty."

That's what bit me when I first tried it. Of course, if that doesn't work, you should write to questions@...." Newbie A: "Cool. Thanks guys!" :-) Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.
