Long clip of good info

Thanks Tim. Ed Centanni is only a genius; you are my new hero. :-)
I used to take care of that in pre-Linux days by asking for a directory of
an empty floppy drive. Win/DOS would puke ... and wipe out the cache ...
which, for my purposes, was nearly as good as a command called
"flushfloppya:"

I got RFC1060 printing out for a class ... your email is already qeued for
inclusion in my handy-dandy binder of solved problems. :-)
