So, the list of server names would be categories of server names: characters.rephil.org animals.rephil.org foods.rephil.org presidents.rephil.org Or in the true spirit of unix, i.e., cryptic and unnecessarily abrev'd, just letters of the alphabet. (Doh!) a.rephil.org b.rephil.org Cheers, P (Damn this virtual water cooler -- I have work to do, so of course it sucked me in!) :-) -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." -- Anonymous _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
