Again, many thanks to those who sent suggestions for a crossword compiler that would work under Linux. I'm somewhat bemused. My original search was done via Dogpile, a meta-search engine that found only arccc, the one with iffy source code. I've since abandoned Dogpile. Regards, Bill Bennett. -

Hi, %commands defined much earlier in the program and I want to see if $recv matches a key in that array. That isn't the issue i'm having through. It doesn't matter if the logic fails, regardless $recv suddenly has nothing in it if I perform a chomp() on it. Thanks, Shane On 11/10/2007, Tony Sc

Well, I'm an idiot!
