there's one point i want to re-iterate. i'd prefer to see EXPERIMENTAL stop being a dependency, as in: depends on SNAFU && FUBAR && EXPERIMENTAL "EXPERIMENTAL" is not a dependency in the true sense of the word -- it is more of an attribute, and i think it would far more sense to see entries like: depends on SNAFU && FUBAR maturity EXPERIMENTAL sure, it's more work, but i think the cost is worth it in terms of flexibility (particularly if *i'm* not the one doing the work. :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
