Ratio of data written to "total size" - i.e. about 8% of 4.8G was actually thrown across the network to achieve the sync. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ But you've got to admit that in special effects, JP was to previous rubber-monster romps as "Star Wars" was to "Lost in Space."
