Can see your point. Tracking down a sig11 problem in a custom program right now. Seems to be OS related, but think a bit of work around the problem code is in order first. Oh, the pain of learning. My first project fixing another's code. Or at least trying. At least it doesn't harm functionality, so has been bugging me for a while and decided enough is enough. >I gather that root support is the most-asked-for feature in Vinum (when >I asked Greg about it some weeks ago, I got about as far as `when will >Vinum' before he answered me). As long as recovery works, making it >nicer to use is (should be) a lower priority. This was more directed torwards Greg, but would guess that auto-recovery would be fairly requested. Growing plexes (any type) would be #1 on my list, auto-recovery #2, and root #3. Best not to bother him about desired features. Would be nice for a work status/todo list, but then *that* has to be updated. And yet might reduce questions of the "when will" type. Rather like the problem page he added. Otherwise should just stop here now. <duck n cover> "Is it done yet?
