The worst at all: edit-pr doesn't even bomb me with something like ``usage: hey you are stupid that you are, don't gimme more than one argument'', it silently does what i think is wrong -- just picking the first one only and pretending it's all right. Where's the source for edit-pr? Should go into CVS? Pleeze, put it into CVS somewhere. Rather than complaining i'd go to fix it. Perhaps we need a third CVS repository (besides src and ports), something where we can drop our development stuff that's not actually intended to be shipped along with the system. I've already been seeking for such a place for my easy-import script. What about `devel'? Should be shipped to the CVS suppers/ctmers, but not go into the regular distribution. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
