At one time, uptime had to be patched because it used a too small datatype for the number of days. Then they had to move, the machine had to go down, and when switched on, one disk didn't work anymore. Just to think that I made a good start porting tcsh. - Peter -- Peter Korsten | peter@grendel.IAEhv.nl (UUCP) | peterk@IAEhv.nl C/C++/Perl/Java hacker
