What does the Pnews mean??... For my newsgrps I use somethin called tin... So what are the neccessary amendments??... Also when I tried doin a `sh' on the file there's an error on the line with srand... Says somethin bout unexpected... Perl gives no err.. but then the random feature is still not invoked... 8PP... Thanx for any help... Oh BTW... Does this work in pine (ie email??)... Just asked... If I can sort out the mess for tin... I might work on pine as well... ***** <Lawrence Lim aka HdBanger http://metro.turnpike.net/HdBanger/> ***** ` ...
