Fixed the space between -l /var/log/temp...
tried several spacing permutations,The closed spacing is in deference to
the posted HOW TO by the program author.That exact closed spacing has
survived several upgrades to this program beginning 2004,so I followed

I have not ,again, tried to reproduce the phenomena,but,for what it is
worth, I found one "how to fix it web site" suggesting that the
supplicant could fix his mournful problem with that warp quirk in

joyful cry "You are a genius".

I have been in some contact with the Trekkies,also hoping to find some
local like minded tinkerers.
