I sometimes need the exact size. Then I suggest that you clean up your patch, follow the GNU Coding Standard and make a nice ChangeLog entry (you can read about the format of those in the GNU Coding Standard) and post the patch here. Who knows, maybe it will be included. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
