By all means, do it, like I said: just my 2ct :) I do not remember it very well, it has been years ago, but just know that I did the work with 0 actually meaning false. Please make sure not to overlook any tests that may be in the code, easily overlooked and then you have a bug. cheers, Alex _______________________________________________ rrd-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers
