That was not my understanding. If that was the issue, we would release packages numbered 1-5. Marc splits them up saying if you don't want the docs, don't download them. I assume opt is /contrib. My guess is he had the multibyte stuff out in /opt but now they are required. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
