Using "-" or "--" as an option is not the best solution because of the fact that not all programs recognize it. Please don't help spread partially correct or faulty information. -- ______________________________________________________________________ \ robert earl / "Love is a many splintered thing" rearl@watnxt3.ucr.edu \ --Sisters of Mercy rearl@gnu.ai.mit.edu /
