Yes -- I got it working in CVS. Someone please reconfirm that on Alpha. I don't see why it shouldn't work on sparc, etc as well now... One other change I made is that this part: sed -e '/^........ .. .. \*UND\* [0-9a-f]....... *[^ ]*$/d' \ was replace with grep -v '\*UND\*' Which I think is more readable... .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
