For my part, my own opinion is that if there is a desire not to confuse people who still do rely on man pages, then perhaps it would be best to exhibit some consistancy, and also remove mention of the -q option from the SYNOPSIS section of the relevant man page. (This would not be _my_ first choice, but at least it would be consistant.) Regards, rfg
