Right, now go upgrade your IMP, or Turba, or Kronolith? And what about changes to registry.php? All that should happen on an upgrade is the .dist files get upgraded, not blindly overwrite any of the .php files that an admin may or may not have modified ... that is why the base distribution has .dist files ... On an initial install, although it does add more work, putting the original .php files in place is cool ... but, for instance, my motd.php files for IMP is now gone, which had a bunch of programming in it to redirect ppl coming in to various places ... now it has a 'Powered by Horde' icon :( ---- Marc G.
