A mechanism like that could be included into the man code, even if this seems to be a more general problem, as `find' does not work, too. -- BGKS Bjoern Kulms Tel. +49(3677)670014 Tel. +49(5363)71468 TU Ilmenau Max-Planck-Ring 8c/L62 Kronekenberg 1 Elektronische Medientechnik D 98693 Ilmenau D 38446 Wolfsburg - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
