^^^^^ no why are they using -% of cpu for??
The programs are Merc II (A MUD) and expire (usenet expire program)
Both programs are running (I just played Merc) and I'm sure that expire
is going. The machine was under a little load today (expire,mud,relaynews,
nnmaster, nn, tin..). Is this a bug in ps or has something crashed or what?
Any more than this and the computer might think its running fast. The computer
is a 386dx40 :)
