Yeah, I just didn't want to cramp anyone's style [too much]. One of the most tedious things I have to do when I release a new version of naim is go to freshmeat, TUCOWS, etc. and navigate to/fill out forms to announce the new release. I was actually in the process of writing a template to use in an online form when I realized how "simple" the structure really was, and decided it would probably be just as easy to parse the messages as to ask people to fill out Yet Another Form. If anyone *would* prefer to have an online form to generate the message to cygwin-apps (and possibly the message to cygwin-announce once the update has been accepted), that's certainly something I can look into as well. -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://naim-users.org/nmlorg/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -- Douglas Adams, Novelist
