Thanks for looking at this, but I'm not sure that this is an improvement. "... must ... and optional ..." is very hard to parse. It looks like what is meant is something like this: must be preceded by a newline, and may also be preceded by white space. Does that sound right? Also, if you're going to refer to POSIX it's nice to actually quote the chapter and verse. That would have made it easier for me to figure out what's going on here, for example. :) hth, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
