I found paramsaver6.zip in the wiki. Looks like severe overkill, but also looks like it can be programmed to do what I want. Has anyone else used it, and might share some advice? For what it purports to do, the man page is pretty sparse. Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
