First and foremost the "news" file, but I think it would also not be misplaced in wget.html and/or wget.hlp /.info (whatever it is called on Unix systems). > > 3. on a different aspect: > > All command lines with -nh that were created before 1.8 are now > > non-functional, > Those command lines will need to be adjusted for the new Wget.

I don't expect them to be lasting forever, I just meant that simply ignoring -nh in wget 1.8 would have been an easy way to avoid the hassle. I am of course thinking of my wGetGUI, where "no host look-up" is an option. So, I no have either to explain every user (not reading any manual of course), that s/he should only use this option if they have an old wget version. Or I could simply delete the -nh option and say that it is not important enough for all the users of old wget versions. And then there is the problem if someone upgrades from an old wget to a new one, but keeps his/her old copy of wgetgui, which now of course produces invalid 1.8 command lines :( CU Jens http://www.jensroesner.de/wgetgui/
