The problem is to determine > whether it was > changed :) I suggested one way of doing that to the author, but never got a reply back. The idea was to add an option that does two things: 1) installs new files r/o (but not merged files); 2) if files are installed r/o, quietly install the new one. The act of editing a file should leave it r/w, thus automatically tagging new files. And it wouldn't work for me :-(, so I haven't implemented it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
