Ed,
That was it! Thanks. I've looked over that file a dozen
times. It just didn't sink in. Now do you know where I
could find a tarball of diald at version 0.99.3 or before.
0.99.4 is on SourceForge but there is not adequate
documentation for significant change?
Another question - possibly stupid, but: Is there any
good reason that I could no use a mandrake rpm on RH (seeing
how mandrake is derived from RH). The reason I ask is that
there is a 0.99.1 version available as an rpm that is
covered by the man pages and has documentation.
Thanks again,
Bob
