In other words, you didn't even bother to learn that trivial bit. You remind me of guys in the 70s who just couldn't figure out "this Unacks stuff". They just didn't get pipes, and they knew that they were useless to the average user, who really needed files with Hollerith card images in them. Unix did not look like what they were used to, so they just "knew" it had no value. I knew a guy once who we delivered a Sun to. "What's this windowing bullshit?" he asked me. He put the mouse in a drawer, this in spite of the fact that Sun text mode at the time ran at 1200 baud. Nope, too hard to learn. Learn and adapt, or die. No other choices . ron
