Good luck - I've never met a Government department that
knows what an ASCII file is (with appologies to any
government IT staff on the list !!).

Hi,
I am to be given a 13MB ascii file by a NSW department.
We've tried twice so far. The attempt first was burned onto
a ISO9660 CDROM by (presumably) a Win98 machine. Using RH6.2
I could only get 4096 bytes off before I got an I-O error.
The filename is of the 8.3 form.

But a cluster would also help if a machine fails... see your PIII 1000Mhz

My PS1 prompt has the following string,

In this case, when my command fails the BASH variable $? value is displayed

Two cheers here. Westpac's online banking works fine with a
Netscape 4.7+ or IE 5.0+ browser
I use St George's Internet banking every day in Netscape under RH6.2
Works for for me.
I also use it on a windows machine, it loads a totally different applet which is
much better than the old one that it loads under linux.
Ah well.

It's about the only thing Westpac gets right. Their
internet banking runs on any late model netscrape, on any platform
(Win/Mac/Unix) - so if Westpac can do it, why can't the others? Mind you,
their commercial "DeskBank" only runs on Windows, and is very flaky
