Oh, boy ... too much parties in the last two weeks, really ;-) Seems to be that I was fighting a bit with the editor, with my brain or with both ;-) All I wanted to say was, that I couldn't reproduce the error. I made a little script to see if fortune works or not. It did well. As a reference I showed you the date of the src directories, so that you can see, what I got when supping -current these days. The marker (^) should lead your attention to the fact, that some days there was an update of some files. To be short: sup the newest version and please try again, since it works perfectly here ... Hope I got the right words now ;-) Andreas /// -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de - \/ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd >>> knobel is powered by FreeBSD <<<
