I vote for this to be *reverted*!! I disagree. First, it is on the TODO list, so it is open game. Second it is not throughout all the code, it only gets activated if someone executes the command. Third, I don't know of any time limit that features have to be implemented a certain number of weeks _before_ beta starts. Everyone asks for this, and if it does only %70 of the job, that is fine as long as the manual page says so. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
