What I was hoping for (yeah, I know, silly boy...) was something that could 
recursively scan a directories *.hal file, drawing the connections, until 
it made a scan with no more hits, then spit out whats left as errors or 
missing, whatever.

And that too obviously comes _first_, fully understood, Kirk.

And I may owe some apologies here and there.  I am in the somewhat rare 
situation of having looked at the x-rays and understanding that what I saw 
was a death sentence for Annie without the neurosurgeon (and a friend of 
mine already) having to elaborate other than saying the damage was done 
even if he could reach the location to remove the blood clot.  Middle 
cerebral artery, left side & she was right handed.  And I have since buried 
the two girls she gave me, throat and stomach cancer.

So I may be a bit inured to the passing of those I love the most. I can of 
course try to put myself in your shoes & shed a few tears, I seem to do 
that well. I have even asked myself why am I still here, but I'm not smart 
enough to answer me.

Now of course I have an Alberta Clipper bearing down on me with a foot of 
snow forecast.  Very minor detail compared to this.

With regard to a bad hal file killing the machine, I am now beginning to 
lean toward a flaky psu, its not liking 50F ambient temps in the shop, and 
has crashed with grand and goriously colored confetti on the screen within 
20 minutes of the last 3, fully powered down reboots.  gkrellm says the 5 
volt line is sagging and I say 4.87 volts once.  That psu is about a year 
old.  I have a 2 or 3 year old HiPro that is a tad undersized in this box, 
still holding its 5 volt line at 5.05.  But nobody has any more HiPro's.
All the rest seem engineered to sag & go out of tolerance about 2 weeks 
after the end of the warraty, worst offenders are Antec.

Maybe I'll even buy a whole new box.  If I could find one of those compact 
models with a usable parport & no built in video. 

Is anyone actually selling that intel board that has been discussed here in 
a ready to go package?  I'd drop the card for one of those in a heartbeat.

Cheers, Gene
