Nobody could alter anything until somebody came in who could fix it manually. I do agree it might make some sense to have a /setup directory, but how would you convince all the programs to use this at once? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
