Sure, but the maintainer is really the person who is in the position of making this determination. [I know we both have packages in the archive that many people don't see the utility of, but I (and presumably you as well) know that they're being used.] The fact that Adam Conrad just made an upload yesterday to fix bugs in the package seems to indicate that he at least feels that it is useful. [Or at least, I *hope* that's why an upload was made instead of requesting removal.] Don Armstrong -- This space for rent http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
