Indeed, the XSF is carrying around tons of shell functions that are generally useful and so should go in to some sort of central package, but there's nowhere to put them. Getting something like this started has been on the backburner for me for a while. I'd happily contribute what we've got to such a package, or help start one up. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
