That would seem like one step forward and two steps back. Maybe I am missing something again. I sort of got some "issues" going on around here. :/ I just sort of like the way autounmask did it. It has its drawbacks to tho. If you unmask something and there is a package in the file that you wouldn't think is related, good luck finding that later on when you have a lot of files in there. Needle in the haystack comes to mind. I guess that is when grep or something comes in to the rescue. To many options sometimes. o_O Dale :-) :-)
