I just now tried this:

[root at athena ~/landmine]# ls -l
total 41746
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel        46 Jan 20 14:58 mtree.exclude
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  42713965 Jan 20 16:19 mtree.out
[root at athena ~/landmine]# mtree < mtree.out
mtree: line 270131: unknown keyword Burg

I'm fairly certain that that's not the intended result ;-)

That line, BTW, is just a file name with a space in it:

                link=/opt/SC3U/buildings/Den Burg Bruges.bld

Am I missing somethign fairly simple?

far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles."
