- The system I work on is AIX. I'm very new to unix in general, and really
- appreciated the following uuencoded form of the above, especially since I
- had no idea how to create control characters within a file.

- Further, if you happen to be running AIX, you require PTF U406855

- Hope this is useful to someone. b.
