8 Yeah, that happens. It can definitely be frustrating, especially since
9 because you don't know what caused it, you haven't the foggiest whether
10 it'll be back and when. =8^( However, I've come to the conclusion that
11 sometimes you just don't look that horse in the mouth, and chances are,
12 it'll be your trusty steed for some time. =8^)

14 BTW, had a list connectivity glitch and didn't get this reply tacked on
15 your last post, but re: Irix/Solaris mode, it seems the manpage says the
16 reverse of what it actually does. Having never used either of the named
17 platforms, I can't say whether the manpage or the app is correct in what
18 it claims for the modes, but yes, Irix mode ON seems to result in what
19 the manpage calls Solaris mode, while Irix mode OFF results in what the
20 manpage calls Irix mode. So at least that part isn't unique to your
21 (old) system, as that's the way it works here as well.
