Thanks, Jordan. Will do as I can. Meanwhile the '1.0m' version was far more solid than previous versions which *needed* a cron job to restart the bot when it died. I significantly upgraded that script (so it would work under FreeBSD's vixie-cron) and made that part of the port, but fortunately haven't needed it execpt for auto-start of the bot following the occasional reboot. I quite agree that a tool is reasonably inanimate until someone puts it in their hand and uses (or abuses) it. Bruce Gingery <bgingery@gtcs.com> On Mon, 10 Feb 1997, Jordan K.
