Yuck. I'd just deliver the new files to a different location (or under a different name) so that there is no conflict. You can then safely switch back and forth as needed without mucking with packages. Better still, non-conflicting packaging is one of the fundamental ARC requirements. You don't need to be best-practice-compliant to post beta test code, but I'd suggest that it's a good idea just in the interest of avoiding unintended trouble. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
