Renames and deletions come to mind immediately. I suppose it's also the fact that generation and application are built in. Did someone add "wx patch" when I wasn't looking? (Very possible.) (I also like mq, but only for certain tasks. Danek and others use it as part of their workflow.) - Stephen -- sch at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
