As everyone is able to package libs, and you cant be sure if the NM wont do it in the future, basic understanding should be there. We had way to many breakages. Yes, maybe the question can be made better, but something in this direction should stay IMO. As always: If you use my templates and modify them in some way - I always like patches to them. :) -- bye Joerg <lenny> schneidet nie chilis und wascht euch dann _nicht_ die hände und reibt euch dann an der nase. <lenny> uargs, wie das brennt <lenny> hammer. das ist ja schlimmer als die dinger zu essen...
