I don't have time to read the perl script to determine what "tries to figure out" means. Not to mention that semantics are likely to change at any moment, and be unreliable, based on my experience with other Debian "smarter than thou" wrappers. Sure, mostly they work well for most people. That's not good enough for maintainers working on "stable" XEmacs versions. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
