Why not ? But do you have a motivation for this change ? I mean why would you want to use a completely different prefix ? My change was only for format-patch as this is used to build patch that some other tools can process. If we find a sensible usage for your prefix option I'm all for it as this solves also my problem. It is just that I think all options must have at least one usage :) Pascal. --=20 --|------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member --| 45, rue Gabriel Peri - 78114 Magny Les Hameaux FRANCE --|------------------------------------------------------ --| http://www.obry.net --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination" --| --| gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key C1082595
