You can copy those lines and unconditionally print out the information. The question is, whether or not that flag is implemented (elswhere) and how to set it properly. Unfortunately, there was no answer up to now... -Bernard -- Bernard Steiner, FB Informatik/IRB, Uni Dortmund, vox +49 231 755 2444 Postfach 500500, D-W-4600 Dortmund 50, Germany fax +49 231 755 2386 bs@Germany.EU.net ...!uunet!unido!bs *III And they gave it Instructions, but knew it not. } From The Book of Nome, *IV It is, they said, a Box with a Funny Voice. } Mezzanine v.III-IV
