I'm still right, but for another reason. You speak about the make dist which is called at the very end of distcheck, to compare a VPATH- generated tarball from the created source and build trees with the one that was generated at the very beginning of distcheck. It's this latter (earlier in time ;-) one that is identical to what you create with `make dist' anyway. Cheers, Ralf
