It used to be convention in FreeBSD to separate the modulepath by spaces as opposed to tabs. This is easy to change if it's the general opinion. (Btw., appending is not a good idea, easy-import goes great lengths to ensure the module name will be in collating order with the other names. It calls ed(1) to perform the actual editing.) -- 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. ;-)
