And a command interface wrapper that is compatible with sendbug. Shell scripts written for automagic sendbug sending are going to barf on gnats.

If it is called ``sendbug'' it had better behave exactly like sendbug or people and shell scripts are going for a shocker. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
