Additionally, if you don't put a '\n' in the message, die will print out the line number of where it was called. Finally, unless is a cleaner way of specifying not logic (IMHO). -- Andrew DeFaria <http://defaria.com> The Definition of an Upgrade: Take old bugs out, put new ones in. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
