: The former two are obsoleted by the latter. All contain

Correct - WE HAVE A WINNER!
Congratulations.
The actual RFC i took it from was RFC 1288 -- always use the newest .. no point
in reading something obsolete.
: from RFC 1288:
:
: > 2.5.5. Vending machines
: >
: > Vending machines SHOULD respond to a {C} request with a list of all
: > items currently available for purchase and possible consumption.
: > Vending machines SHOULD respond to a {U}{C} request with a detailed
: > count or list of the particular product or product slot. Vending
: > machines should NEVER NEVER EVER eat money.
heh .. also very true.
Cheers !

You don't need more to find out... It's in rfc 1194 ("The Finger User Information Protocol"), rfc 1196 (newer version of 1194) and rfc1288 (even newer version). regards, Wilfried -- PGP 2.6.2: 2047/0xF5D18591/CEBD 3E8F B6DE 955E ABA6 9396 1539 9350 http://www.toppoint.de/~wklaebe/
