Bfr is meant to be a companion to |, not a replacement. You need to use |s with bfr to accomplish anything useful :). I find bfr extremely useful when writing console programs (esp. those that use buffers), because it removes the variable of data coming in too quickly (and thus I know that whatever happens is entirely the fault of my program, and not because of some environmental factor). I'm sure there are plenty of other uses for bfr as well. It's got no bugs, and 77 installs seems just a bit high to remove it, IMHO. -- Sincerely, Jack Mudge [EMAIL PROTECTED] My GPG Public Key can be found at: https://www.theanythingbox.com/pgp.htm Signatures are appreciated, email them to me.
