I did file a bug a year or two ago about the almost uselessness of USE flag descriptions. It caused a flurry of activity in quite a few packages, but conspicuous silence in the rest. Needless to say, the activity soon died away and the status quo resumed. Programmers are not writers of English, by and large. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23
