Well, that's me told. ;-) Might (probably won't) teach me to opine strongly on something that, just because I personally haven't seen it before, could nevertheless be a fine thing. Witness .tp format. SciFi, you and I likely have the same version of Pan from Charles's tree -- I thought he had called it 1.34 at some point -- but I don't know how to tell. Where is the version information located in the source? _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
