The right amount of >-D options is easier on our eyes. I have to agree, one can go plumb cross-eyed looking for the original error line in a 10,000 line output. I'm not sure if at that time I had managed to find a manpage describing the -D option, which, at least for the fedora version, does not descend into the exec line of a subdriver, thereby losing the data you really wanted. There really does need to be a man or info page for nut, even if its just a listing of the pieces. That would be a lot of help for the 'first timers'. :) Thanks Arjen. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
