btw another nice thing about having a desk calculator with the fd hanging out in /srv/desk: I can have any process (awk pipeline) feed commands into /srv/desk and have it pop up in my desk calculator. Don't know why I didn't do this before. Also, it would be easy to drop three dc processes at the end of /srv/desk, and have displays in my calculator running always in dec, hex, octal -- handy for me!
I've not really used /srv as much as I could have. ron
