My understanding is that for msiexec the curly brackets are only used to enclose cases where there is two or more alternatives: {a|b|c}. With {required parameter} being an exception to the rule, maybe because it in fact represents a list. It would be nice if all of Wine's tools used the same conventions for the usage messages. -- Francois Gouget <fgou...@free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux, WinNT, MS-DOS - also known as the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
