It seems needlessly different. I agree. But, that's what Jim added to the top of General Query Packets as the convention: The name of a query or set packet should be separated from any parameters by a `:'; the parameters themselves should be separated by `,' or `;'. Stubs must be careful to match the full packet name, and check for a separator or the end of the packet, in case two packet names share a common prefix. New packets should not begin with `qC', `qP', or `qL'(1). I don't feel too strongly about it. Do you think it should be changed? -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
