Huh? Doesn't the "u" in "diff -up" stand for unified - not exactly the buddhist "middle way". The option "p" shows the function name and is useful with both unified and context diffs. Anyway, I'm happy to post unified diffs since the maintainer needs to understand them while I, hopefully, already do. I only really look at them to check I've not included garbage. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
