Remember if you include this in the package description to revisit periodically and update/drop when state of the program changes. Personally I would avoid such paragraph (unless it is a warning that it does _not_ work reliably), as my experience is that I forget to revisit later. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
