Right. Coincidentally, I just got back to check the patch for unlink... Walking around indeed does help thinking, even though I guess you got more space than me. ;-) If either deliver right before finishing or the wrapper script deletes the source, cleaning up will not be an issue. guenther -- char *t="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
