Oh, and for the record, I didn't start using Solaris until 2005. I've used Linux since 1995 and I have never assumed #!/bin/sh was bash. So if you think I'm saying all of this because I'm some die-hard ancient Solaris user, I'm not. I use RedHat Enterprise Linux at work and ran GNU/Linux distributions at home for years. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
