I like Linux about 8 days a week. Which is about how much I hate Windows - especially its damned file system, including its obsession with exclusive file locks. One of the most FA'd of Qs in Windows discussion groups is: "How do I update the executable file for a running program?" This is met by a flood of answers describing increasingly convoluted hacks - usually involving at least one reboot - culminating in the conclusion: "You can't." Under Linux it's trivial. -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way. X Top-posted messages will probably be ignored.
