Hey James!

Okay.  I think it is pretty well much a done deal.  You shouldn't have any
problems with it.

I've noticed many doing simular things.  Personally I prefer network cards and
tcpip for networking.  Given the economics of network cards, as well as chips
on almost every motherboard these days, serial networking is pretty well much a
dead issue, other then cellphones and other embedded devices.  Do we care about
them?  I doubt they can do uucp.

Interesting.  As far as any format is concerned I don't think it matters.

I used to write special manpages on Solaris but for specialized software.  I
was very good at it too.  That was ages ago and haven't done any since.  I have
lots of notes to myself but have yet to commit much of it to a digital
document.  Some bash scripts but those change quite frequently and are related
to odd personal jobs rather then generic day to day stuff.

That happens quite often for a number of reasons.

Right.  They just script in the X utils and make it transparent.  Persoanlly I
prefer tweaking but do appreciate some of that ... when it works that is.

Quite a few of the hoppy things around here.  Probably too many.  Other then a
few cats, nothing seems to pay them much heed.

Life is good,
Maurice
