Regular expressions define the same class of languages as can be
recognized by finite memoryless automata.

Has the utility of this item to any "party" discussions been completely
eradicated ? Just wondering... :-)

I'm not at all displeased with the function of party, as it stands now.
Certainly, upgrades in Versions are not looked down upon, but other changes
_I_ at least, do not see the need for.

Thanks, popcorn. A new command. I wish there was one called "spy"
so I could look but not be "present" - sorta like "staff privileges,
I guess? Just got back from a visit to planet Arbornet and was
only on system for a few minutes when I got a "Welcome!" from the
staff (ec), or maybe it was just a user checking who was on. Just
kidding - Arbornet was a good experience, and the patience of
all you Grexers in teaching me paid off. I made mistakes, but
not so egregious this time. This should be someplace else,
I suppose, so sorry about that.

No problemo, tsty. BTW, I think ec (among many others) is
a "good guy" from the planet Arbornet. It sure is a different
world over there, but they do have some really fine people!
I must say I am starting to gain a glimmer of the vehemence
expressed in earlier contacts about defending the unique
[ glimmer of -- should be "glimmer of understanding about"]
character of Grex, and Arbornet also.

I fear only one. This should have been at the end of #64, but
got lost while "exploring the intraccies of unix".

hmm. I'm not a unix wiz, but i'll take a shot at the pronunciations.
nawk = nawk
awk = awk
grep = grep (rymes with step)
troff = tee are off
crontab = cron (like drone but not as long on the o) tab
cpio = ? (maybe cee pee eye oh)
chown = cee aitch own
chmod = cee aitch mod
chgrp = ?
chsh = cee aitch ess aitch
chfn = cee aitch eff en
guru = gooroo ;)
btw- why would you need to pronounce them? I just spell it out if
I'm trying to tell someone the command verbally.

Except for pronouncing troff "troff", my pronunciations are the
same as brenda's. Why you're worried about pronouncing computer
command, I don't know. Computers usually don't have a problem
understanding your accent, as long as you're a good speller. >8)
(Oh, and I pronounce chgrp "see aitch group" or "change group".)

I mostly say them like Rob, though I pronounce chown & chmod as they're
spelled (chown rhymes with moan) & chgrp as chgroup. The *real*
religious war is whether you pronounce vi as "vee eye" or "vie".
I do have occasion to say these to coworkers who should have some degree
of familiarity with Unix commands; but when talking to an end user I
*definitely* spell anything that's not a common English word. ("Now type
ell pee, and a blank, and then a hyphen dee, ..." - but "Now type
cancel laser-12345".)
Oh, & I pronounce /etc as "et-see", which I've discovered is very
nonstandard but which is a *lot* faster than "slash ee tee cee".
