Because I want users to check the conversion, that's why. If the script moved the new code into the old name, users tend to do something like prompt% brconvnames .... prompt% make (yeap, users are lazy), when users should really do prompt% brconvnames .... prompt% less ... (and possibly) prompt% emacs ... prompt% mv ....new ... prompt% make Sometimes, the best way to make sure users Do The Right Thing, is to make it a bit more conveluted then needed :-( Yours, Christian Holm Christensen ------------------------------------------- Address: Sankt Hansgade 23, 1. th.
