It's probably worth mentioning the difference >in the man page. With Warner's newer patch, anyone who USES the '-e' option will be told it has been renamed to '-I'. As such, I would think we are better off not mentioning '-e' in the man page. People who do read the man page before using will have no need to know the option used to be '-e', and the people who do not read the man page don't really need to have more information in the man page that they are not reading... :-) (also, I am definitely in favor of making this change to '-I') --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
