It is highly possible that vdrift will be removed from the archive. We recently found that it contains some non-free parts from a commercial game. I am not sure it those parts are so critical that a clean-up wouldn't do it, but Goneri already requested its removal (although I raised that question and never got a clear answer, iirc). -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
