Yes. I'm well aware of the effects of Matt's scripts. In fact I think I
may have already mentioned that in this very discussion.
you did but i didn't see that before i posted. the number of posts about
matt's crap on usenet was enormous. it took the community way too long
to rewrite them in clean safe code. that archive is now also forgotten
as no one seems to mention them in the age of modern perl and such.
