I hope you will forgive me for cc:ing the list on this but I think some others migth benefit from the comments. A few comments go beyond the translation preparation that you were supposed to be doing. Some general comments: 1. work from the CVS repository if at all possible -- Landon can help get you set up. 2. get set up to install on a working CSuite system like phat or landon so that you can test (and break) sscripts. 3. do not go out of your way to exclude HTML markup from the quoted strings -- that can jsut be left in the translated versions. 4. do not let any of the above keep you from proceeding -- refinement and testing can come after if necessary Below, I have preceded my replacement code with >>>> and comments with #### #! /bin/sh # Copyright (C) 1995, 1996 Chebucto Community Net Society # This file is part of Chebucto Suite.
