If I get some time in between spammers sending me "snowwhite",
half the known world trying to send me "code red worm", and people
reporting yet another copy of "SirCam", (did I mention marginal-to-
senseless flame-fights here?) I'll look it up. . .

But in the meantime, I am going to allege that the default .cf
that HP sends with H-PUX 10.20 and 11.0 has it in it.

I'll give you that it may be commented outm=, but the HP folk (I think)
tell you to uncomment it.

As usual, I reserve the right to be wrong.
