Package listings that are pretty damn useless for identifying what's in them is not a design goal I ever heard about. Not to mention a FAQ. Remember, Steve B's original intent was to split all independent functionality into separate packages. This proposal is a halfway house that allows somebody who hasn't spent the last 3 years maintaining the package hierarchy to find out what's in there, and where, without imposing all that crap on (a) the pui display or (b) the XPRE. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
