Sweet!
Thanks for testing that out, James! I appreciate it. Since I just
re-syncronized my mirror on the laptop, I think I'll give it a spin.
I need to get with the program. I've been around computers so long
that I still consider cdr/w-stuff to be new-fangled, so I never get
around to learning how to do it the UNIX way. Now, give me a
9-track, 1/2 reel-to-reel tape drive over IEEE-488, and it's a whole
other ball game! ;)
Thanks again! Best regards!
