I don't understand what you mean with "common files"?

PTXdist is not the result of some hackers who happen to have a boring time and don't know what to do during the day. It is the result of something like five years of continuous industrial project and community work. So if you feel that there is a need for documentation, you have two possibilities: - contribute patches - sponsor documentation development I've expressed our strategy before on this list: what I'd like to see in the software packet is a manpage, maybe an info page, and a real written and printable manual for all the uggly details. No offense intended, but I have the impression that you think that open source is a self service shop. This is not true. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
