TwoIf I know that I have been careful in the past, this is not a problem, since the contents of world will be accurate. However, I'm a little worried that I may have forgotten --oneshot and added PEAR-Mail by mistake on an upgrade. Now, I have to either risk breaking some customer's site, or leave PEAR-Mail in my world file forever. questions: 1. How do you propose any possible software could help with this? 2. Why do you care about those specific packages in world? Do they cause a conflict or some other large problem? Personally I'd just leave them in world -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
