Erm, I missed that line... ... from an architectural viewpoint I agree with you. But as I said /usr/bin/man needs more fixes and when I start working on fixing /usr/bin/man I'd like to make an "inception review" (or how it's really called) and then start doing a full revamp. It may need some time (and I am not sure how much time it needs since I have to find a normal job first and do that project in my free time) and I really would prefer that the people here start opening their hearts for the end-users and try to get some small improvements done _now_. It's architecturally not correct but it would help lots of the end-users. Remeber these cases are about _usuablity_ which is difficult to measure with a "foot rule" or other physical tools... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
