Stop trying to be the center of the universe, Joerg. You're accusing people left and right without any basis in fact. Many people just have no clue what programs you have written nor do they care. When they pick a name for a new program, they'll perhaps try and find one on their own systems and perhaps a few more, And googling for "compare" does not easily find your program (until I add your name, that is) I'm sure that the ImageMagick folks did not /reuse/ the name; they picked the name "compare" because it was identical to the compare() function in their library and they were likely completely unaware of the existence of a "compare" program written by you. Why you claim malice or non-coorperation is beyond me. I was unaware of the existence of your compare until today. You claim that the only choice compatible with ALL ImageMagick installations is the "worst choice" is beyond me. IMHO, it's the best choice that a distro can make. I venture a guess that even if there was a /opt/schilly/bin/compare and we were moving ImageMagick, we would still have preferred its compare because it is in much wider use. And please stop accusing us of of "not wanting to cooperate" etc. We just don't agree with you. In freshmeat "ImageMagick" ranks 75th, your compare ranks 18000th. So who has more rights to install at the #1 location in the PATH? Getting there first is just completely meaningless.
