my 9 year old CRT. -ausman
\_ How much money are you willing to spend, and how good do you
really need it to be good? Are you willing to pay $900 for the
industry standard monitor used by graphics artists, or are you
so cheap that you'll only want to pay up $400 for something that

to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
