So you would wish, for instance, to deprive me of a package which I can understand and use simply because the documentation is not adequate enough for you, or for somebody non-me, anyway? Heck, if I need it, I'll use what I can figure out, even if I have to go to the source code to understand some of it. I think that the only criterion should be that a package doesn't break the system. Nearly every package is freely given by someone who has donated a great deal of time and skill to get it up and running. To complain about the documentation is what is known as "looking a gift horse in the mouth". Oh, and you *aren't* a customer, any more than any of us are. A customer is someone who pays for goods and services. -- ....................paul It is important to realize that any lock can be picked with a big enough hammer. -- Sun System & Network Admin manual -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
