The files are human readable, so you can use standard text tools like       diff if you wish. If it was caused by a bug in SCFG, it would be triggered by       making a change to any file options/areas and saving the changes.       --         digital man (rob)              Sling Blade quote #14:       Karl Childers: Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade.       Norco, CA WX: 56.9øF, 57.0% humidity, 9 mph W wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.23-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 13 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840 860 880       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 266/512 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
