Is '--un-' not distinctive enough? I've got this much of the design written-up already: http://scratchcomputing.com/developers/Getopt-Crazy/ As I said, since '--no-' is used so much and historically is expected to behave in a certain way, I won't be changing that at all. Basically, I had just never wanted to use it that way and was therefore looking for a new kind of behavior which plays nicely with config-files. --Eric -- "Politics is not a bad profession.
