[Read the full details including the audit-trail in the database.] So we should decide whether to accept or reject the suggestion, but should not leave the PR lingering in `open' state when apparently nobody seems to be interested at all. So are there any proponents of the suggestion (apart from Denny himself, of course :)? Otherwise, i would like to close it as being rejected by general opinion. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
