sounds good to me. one less acronym for people to learn (especially for non-native speakers I imagine it can be a bit mysterious sometimes) Yes, I always read fs as file separator. The meaning for me is more like column separator. Term field never comes to my mind. Vaclav ___ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev

Hamish, When I first wrote the original script, I also thought about fs=. But, you're right, there are no fields to separate, and that's why it's been separator=.
