I have put in a patch to change all references to this script. This includes references in the build procedure. Therefore, the renaming must take place before any part of the build procedure runs. Just like it always had the new name. What is the canonical way to do this? Thank You. I can not change references outside the package, like references in web pages referring to the software, emails people have sent to each other telling them how to use it, and so-forth, therefore the change is sure to cause problems. But this is an objection that applies to many programs. People should really reconsider this policy. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
