Just now when I was explaining 'Kibo' to a couple friends of mine, one, a self-described "aging hacker", said the pronounciation I was using, with a long 'e' sound, was incorrect, and it should be pronounced with a long 'i' sound, since 'Kibo' was/is the name for a line of porta-potties. Which pronounciation is correct? And if Mr Parry happens to read this article (if he doesn't he needs to bitch at the authors of agrep :-) ) maybe he could comment on whether his nickname has anything to do with Kibo the porta-potty manufacturer... -- /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Doug Siebert | "I don't have to take this abuse | | Internet: dsie...@isca.uiowa.edu | from you - I've got hundreds of | | NeXTMail: dsie...@chop.isca.uiowa.edu | people waiting in line to abuse | | ICBM: 41d 39m 55s N, 91d 30m 43s W | me!"
