No I didn't try -f, because I didn't know about it. And I didn't know about it because it's not in the man page. In fact I read the man page specifically looking for just such an option, hence my frustration. If it's a real option it would be good to know about. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
