I wanted that some keys are evaluated by a external program, some sort of a tricky callout. While thinking about it, the idea for dropping all the explicit methods came up. The callout method converted to only a PROGRAM= key combinable with every other key seems the cleaner solution. But we never know. Maybe some day we need a free callable exec :) Kay ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
