There's no reason why a tool shouldn't handle the majority of .htaccess files. Agreed it gets complicated if you want to handle all possible variations but for a clearly proscribed set of options it should be fairly do-able. Beyond that you can always add a plugin mechanism to cope with third-party modules and the like. Simon. -- "The school band will now murder 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful'"
