Put your Beware Of Dog warnings in there, but I think that extra info in this case is not a bad thing. I subscribe to and follow the -emulation list but that does not mean I read every single message, especially when the threads are long and not immediately applicable to me. I'm just saying that throwing in extra information into the Makefile of -fc6 would do more good than harm. -- Rick C. Petty
