I'd rather not have a cd full of tar files since I'm not cramped for space. It is much more convenient to be able to put the cd in and read over some code or some-such than it is to need extra disk space in which to untar the data, look at it, then delete it again. -D -- mailhost:/etc/mail# less sendmail.cf less: syntax of file "sendmail.cf" may induce nausea, show anyway?
