The net is not for whining children ... yet you still feel it necessary to have a 
whine about a cross posting!?!  Surely the net is a source of information for all
those that have access to use it.  Doesn't it seem a bit ironic that the net exists
for such a purpose, but we get flamed if we try and use it as such.  I think that
you are the one that needs to cut down on the whining ...

Irrelevant newsgroups?

I have been posted solutions in C, Ada, some UNIX specific, some not, some answers
via the shell.  Maybe not as irrelevant as you wish then to be.

Nige.
