Do /you/ remember to look for them every time you run Up2Date (every day if you have some sort of automatic update)? Have you ever forgotten to look? Every problem on *nix has a simple, tedious, convoluted command-line solution, and it's always the victim's fault when they didn't remember to do it before the problem occured. Up2Date goes half-way in fixing the problem of updates (when it works at all). ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
