While this message is confusing, it's factually correct. ;-) We used to have -? as the universal help option, but that a) doesn't work in csh b) doesn't play well with getopt(3) So --help was the next best (or even better IMHO) choice, and to support it on all installations we had to give it some special treatment. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
