Then someone would scream bloody murder the first time mergemaster screwed up a system because it removed a file before the system was ready for it. I think mergemaster does about the right amount of assistance during a build work cycle. Trying to make it "smarter" would result in an endless series of special cases that would be a bitch to maintain. Richard Coleman richardcoleman@mindspring.com
