Sounds like the best approach for 4.0 would be to change the current option to -I (or some other out-of-the-way (uppercase) letter), and shoot for including -e in the next release. (March 10th is still the target for 4.0-release, right? I assume that is probably too little time to try to get '-e' finished) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
