I thought changes to NEWS (other than major revisions) were going to be posted as DIFF/PATCH files. I *certainly* appreciate *everyones'* contributions, especially Geoff's. BUT, it just gets a bit crazy to start extracting code segments from postings. If you're going to go through the bother of posting patches, why not do it in the manner in which the most people can benefit from it? $ Set mode/relief Rand P.
