There are others. Using the 'package managers' isn't very helpful. They generally do everything poorly. And usually **s*l*o*w*l*y**, if they compile at all. I can't even remember every time I've needed to use a regex, glob or other pattern match where the fact that the real categories had a dash made things easier and faster. Its been way too many years to change that now. Much better to standardize it as m/[a-z0-9]+-[a-z0-9]+/. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
