philip once again thanks for gettin back...

I can see a slight <dammit just hit my send macro by accident :S > 
discrepency in this as my distro Slamd ( which your right in thinking is 
just a 64bit version of slackware ) uses head -n $ instead of head -$....

when i use head -n i get "green" so i does work... ill try moddin the 
source manually and see how that affects it.
Im in GMT timezone so i wont be in work until +12 hrs from now (20:00 GMT)

Ill report back either way
