I believe you > would like to have that file when recovering after a crash. I thought that too. But isn't the ~ file enough? I've only had it crash a couple of times.. is it worth having two backups?

I wouldn't mind having 20 backups, as long as I didn't have to see them every time I do an 'ls'. -Dan -- Dan Mills, Duke Class of 2000 -o) email: dm(at)cs(dot)duke(dot)edu /\\ -----------------------------------\ _\_v Damn Sill..
