They store a string which is a complete command line for the translating program, not a direct reference to the file. If the program is replaced by a new version, then the next time it starts, you get the new version; nothing automatically takes care of things already running the old version. Think inetd--the basic structure is very similar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
