  2)  I'm trying to repair a coda install that I've buggered pretty

  Sounds like it's time to "rm -rf /vice" and start over.


memo: calling a program "norton" might infringe upon somebody's
trademark.  Depending on what it does, you might call it coda.editfs,
or fsck.coda.  Pity the server RPM doesn't include manual pages, or I
could tell what norton does.
