Interesting. First impressions: 1. Hey, neat idea! 2. Hmmm. But is it good for anything? :-) Testing environment was a 486/33 with 8MB of memory. Every command is DOG SLOW. I mean SLOW. So slow that I think I might be inclined to simply reformat rather than fix.. :-) Why does it take such an inhumanly long time? Everything from `date' to `ls' lags about 3 seconds before startup and this is without any I/O to the floppy at all! Hmmmmmmmm.. 3. spwd.db is 0 length, resulting in some anguish from the system. Other than that, it's pretty neat stuff! If the wrinkles can be ironed out, I could see this as a nice tool. Jordan
