I know it doesn't, that does not preclude that it was mainly meant for such purposes. There has even been a short expirmental package list based on xml/xslt which used it, but it's searching mode was way too slow, so it was abandoned. In any case a longdescription tag if present should not be empty. Paul -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
