In This case, how would one determine what IUSE values were used for the package said package then? How can one use to view this data? tbz2tool --help tbz2tool join DATAFILE DBFILE OUTFILE (datafile + dbfile -> outfile) tbz2tool split INFILE DATAFILE DBFILE (infile -> datafile + dbfile) > > > And what does tbz2tool and xpak do?

Do you know off-hand w/o needing to compile it on one machine (with different use flags) and then use the package on another machine (which has a different USE flag) just to see the difference? -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
