No, there is no need for replicating it. >I'm not trying to go round and round the pear tree here :-) >It just seems awkward to have one special VIP file that people have to >get from php4/pear and all the rest come from pear/. Once again :-): The files from php4/pear are bundled into each new release of PHP. So they are _automatically_ on your system: You do not need to get PEAR.php from CVS - it's already there! The packages from pear/ will be installed by this installer thingie (via command line or via a web interface - whatever you like more) and they will use PEAR.php that is already on your system. - Martin
