I'd love to choose what I prefer, but I'd like to avoid my wild preferences ruining it for everyone else. :-) Thanks for the support, though. > In the style of my previous post, if you choose a closed-open > interval, something like NOTE whole file = 0..size !!! (yeah > tripple exclamation marks, sign of a diseased mind - should make > people think fair enough). Actually, ".." sounds more like closed-closed to me. :-) (That must be Pascal childhood rearing its ugly head.) How about supporting both? For example: 1. --range=1..size # wimps, or: --range=0..size-1 # slightly less wimpy, but less "consistent" 2. --range=0-size # real (wo)men 3. --range=0+size # both Or, to pick another example, say you want to download the second kilobyte of a file: --range=1025..2048 --range=1024..2047 --range=1024-2048 # my preferred version --range=1024+1024 # also cool
