Hubbard" In former times we used the GENERIC keyword to do stuff like this, but that was clearly gross. Stefan and I have tossed the idea around and come up with the keyword FAILSAFE as a reasonable proposal. FAILSAFE sounds best to me, as it is quite obvious what it means. (And I would propose it to be made the default for example config files) -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@clinet.fi mobile +358-40-5519679 work +358-0-4375360 fax -4555276 home -8031121
