Unless your screen is IMAX-sized, two screens of text is a lot more lightfooted than add extra libraries to nearly 200 packages - and most of that text is comments anyway. As Mick says, you get to choose, but the per-package approach is definitely lighter on the system. Enabling it globally may be less work though. I say "may" because when I tried that it introduced some breakages, so I went for the per-package approach. -- Neil Bothwick Things are more like they are today than they ever have been before.
