Steve, >>Yes NT will run on your beloved SGI machine!..<< I know, that's why SGI may go bankrupt any day, and from what I understand, the MIPS chip will be ready for the Smithsonium in a few years. Personally, I can't wait till our entire Branch is forced into NT systems. I will love to see UNIX worshippers told they can't practice their religion anymore. It might be worth sticking around just for that. >>NT = POSIX Compliant.. you did know that didn't you? Perl = POSIX application.<< Translation: another meaningless attempt by the Gov't to create a standard for UNIX that never got off the ground much, and nobody cares about. joe
