Well, and you've already got the mail that it's been closed. :-) That's been an impressive proof that using correct way to submit your wishes is going to be _a lot_ better than posting or mailing a question or submission just somewhere. In your case, it's simply been too much for me to overlook it instantly in the first place, so i thought that a PR would come handy, and i could review it later. However, as you've seen, Steve Price was simply faster. It pays off to have more than one people in a development team... I've also noticed that people sometimes start to send me questions in private mail. While i do the best to answer these questions, those people usually miss the most important point: they not only cause me more work, but they also reduce the potential number of people that can answer their question to just one, while using the proper medium would have reached many more people, and thus have increased the probability of getting a quick answer. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
