We all live on Unix systems, right? Isn't there this filter named "pr"? Doesn't it make sure none of the code gets printed on the form breaks? (Nod your head up and down please...we all know this is true). However, pr gets confused when it has text that contains form feeds. (I would go fix it except the code is a little dense). I do agree however that functions (notice the spelling) should fit on one page. However I also know that sometimes they simply HAVE to drag on for pages and pages. -- -:--:- David Herron; ARPA-> "ukma!david"@ANL-MCS or david%ukma.uucp@anl-mcs.arpa UUCP-> {ucbvax,unmvax,boulder,research}!anlams!ukma!david UUCP-> {mcvax!qtlon,vax135,mddc}!qusavx!ukma!david UUCP-> {A-Large-Portion-of-The-World}!cbosgd!ukma!david No stupid sayings (I can't think of one).
