It could also gzip the files, as some log rotation tools do. Before anyone chimes in again about duplication, it's an outside *command-line* tool which duplicates this, not something in PEAR, so it's not a valid reason for not including the package in PEAR. > ? > > Hans > > !DSPAM:40e2f702145406868621193! > > -- paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
