How does ls --hangman bringing up a hangman program affect the normal use of the program more then a large manifesto affect the normal use of the manual? If you don't know that ls --hangman brings up a hangman program and don't look at the code, you'll never know it's there, unlike a manifest, which is always hanging in your face, appearing in searches, and driving up the cost of printed versions. ______________________________________________________________________ Do you want a free e-mail for life ?
