It may have been added with Debian, but I don't think so. I think it's at least a Linux-wide behavior. I seem to have a vague recollection of SuSE doing the same thing, for instance -- though I could just be misremembering. I admit I was under the impression it was common amongst most "modern" unices, but if you know differently I'm inclined to take your word for it unless/until I have opportunity to check it out myself. -- Chad Perrin [ CCD CopyWrite | http://ccd.apotheon.org ] "Real ugliness is not harsh-looking syntax, but having to build programs out of the wrong concepts." - Paul Graham -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
