Here. I was thinking Skip's idea would be bad since I'll be listed for a bunch of platforms. :-) RedHat 6.2 isn't in the snake farm. Right now, things are in pretty good shape on the snake farm builds (I watch them on a regular basis). Unfortunately, some of the problems deal with minor OS variations (like a specific patching being applied or not), so even having the "same" version of th OS isn't always enough. I have access to the following systems: RedHat: 8, 9 Solaris: 8 AIX: 4.2.1.0, 4.3.1.0, 4.3.3.0 HPUX: 11.00 A IRIX: 6.5 DecUNIX, OSF/1, Tru64: 5.0, 5.1

Neal-

I have an old SGI Indigo box that's running an ancient version of IRIX (I know it is 5.x, but it may be 4.x). Would you like to have it to look over? ;-)

Jokingly (I think it only has a 800Mb disk!), -c
