This is the consequence of what I did yesterday on the PAUSE, as I posted in my message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I have manually corrected the database, so that Ron's entry will change from X500:: ::DN MdpO? X500 Distinguished Name parser RSAVAGE to X500::DN:: ::Parser MdpO? X500 Distinguished Name parser RSAVAGE I have now told the PAUSE indexer to re-index Ron's file and then we will (hopefully) see Ron's module again. >> Having seen the advent of Robert's module, I think the best course >> would be for me to either: >> 1) Delete my module permanently, or >> 2) Delete it under the name X500-DN... and re-enter it under the name >> X500-DN-Parser... >> >> I'm tending towards (1) myself. > a reason for (2) could be that your module has an interface that mine > doesn't have and some people may have a need for it? Agree. And that's why I already have altered the database to that effect. -- andreas
