My script uses the options -E|-exclude=keyword keyword is a comma separated string -I|-include=keyword and -e|-exclude-from=file file contains the strings (one per line) -i|-include-from=file Is this okay or should I use the lowercase on the keyword options (uppercase on file options)? Does anyone know other programs which uses the same options? O. Wyss -- Author of "Debian partial mirror synch script" ("http://dpartialmirror.sourceforge.net/")
