OK, then on a similar vein, what about using the world's highest mountain peaks, http://www.mountaindesign.com.au/mountains/altitudes/highest.html The above list is marginal -- I count 54 here (why couldn't they use a vertical table?) -- but surely the list can be made longer. The only question is whether to start at the top or bottom[1]. -- -mb- Footnotes: [1] Somehow starting at #54 and working up seems like a letdown, though.

I nominate "Ski USA" for the naming scheme. Resort names are colorful, and plentiful. http://www.skionline.com/skiareas.asp And it will remind us (or, at least some of us) of what we'd rather be doing. :-)

This is a cool idea! And work for the MULE stuff to display those names! I love it. Regards, Oliver.

Re: Offix on SunOS 4.1.4 25 years, 10 months

OffiX using programs are: xv (with patch), TkStep (get it from my page http://www.fga.de/~ograf/TkStep.shtml), uncountable (I lie) other hacks for standart programs. WindowMaker is also OffiX enabled (the dock knows how to forward drops to the applications). KDE uses a old version of the OffiX protocol, but will soon move to Xdnd (as far as I know, qt of the newest version already uses Xdnd). But simple OffiX stuff should also run with sunos, cause it uses only standart X stuff. Regards, Oliver.

Re: Crash tracking ? 25 years, 10 months

Try changing auto-gc-threshold and gc-cons-threshold they control GC. This doesn't help you directly, but it may increase the frequency of the problem to make it easier to debug.
