BTW, I went to a pretty outstanding tutorial on just that topic this past summer at OSCON: Glenn Vanderburg on "Using the Source: Software Archaeology for Users of Open Source Software" (http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2002/view/e_sess/2869) which could be described in two seconds as "don't be afraid to get your hands dirty", and in full length as how to be effective while doing so. The pikers at O'Reilly seem not to have made Glenn's slides available on-line (isn't this a direct violation of their speakers' agreement? Mine are there...) but I'm sure Glenn would be pleased to send 'em to you on request. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
