Could this be the problem? It *might* be the problem. Unfortunately, I can't be certain because I don't have access to an OSF/1 V1.3 platform. If the package passes the tests that nctest(1) makes, however, then I would think that it's OK -- we wrote nctest(1) to be quite aggressive in its testing. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
