Well, a quick glance at the code does reveal that .dpatch is the default extension. Inasmuch as the patch files are not standard .patch files, I think the .dpatch extension is appropriate. 1) If you support the use of .dpatch as an automatic extension, then it should be documented. 2) Assuming that .dpatch continues to be the default extension, you should (in my opinion) ensure that the behavior of dpatch-convert-diffgz is consistent with the sample 00list files in the documentation. So yes, a patch on documentation would be great. :-) Charles -- Better try Less speed per mile That car May have to Last a while Burma-Shave http://burma-shave.org/jingles/1952/better_try
