If you think that is not a problem, fine with me. I can (and do) filter the resulting errors from my auto-build scripts by now . That may cause the scripts it to miss some real errors, but after all I can only do so much. And it does seeem as if no one else cares, or maybe I am the only one seeing the problem, so I guess you are right. Thanks, Guenter
