Yeah, it sucks. I've been working around it with sed: # sed -n 1,25p templates.dat ... # sed -n 26,50p templates.dat ... Ugly, but it works.

I'm planning to work on the PowerPC port once I have a working net floppy for i386. Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
