I do and did. I do not use bbconf, and I believe that from my previous messages you can see that I don't have any beef with bbconf in particular but rather was ranting about some (generic) unix-applications behaviour. To recap: In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Kyle Donaldson stated that bbconf should create the directory it uses if it is not there. I objected, arguing that I don't like applications barfing files in my $HOME. > (if no manpage for a certain bbtol, read the > README comes with the source, etc.).

Which is exactly what I've been doing all along. [rest of advise snipped] You give excellent advise, yet you missed my point. I've been fully aware of the possibilities of the applications I use. My argument was rather general, and my opinion on this remains unchanged (in fact, from your arguing, I'd even assume that you'd agree). -Jan -- http://www.netmeister.org http://guinness.cs.stevens-tech.edu/~jschauma/
