The default wwwoffle.conf file in version 2.7a contains updated examples, but the order of them is preserved. The problem is that people upgrading from an earlier version will not change the configuration file which means that the examples will still be wrong. The upgrade-config.pl script cannot automatically update the examples because it has has no way to distinguish between them and the comments that users have added. It will however give a warning that the user may have made a mistake. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
