I looked at the ChangeLog that came with the patch, but most changes didn't have anything to do with the patches I submitted, or it was hard for me to match an entry with an actual change in the code. I could try to look at CVS logs, but that could be tedious and Jason Molenda has said that most of those are null. -- Adam Fedor, Digital Optics Corp. | I'm glad I hate spinach, because http://www.doc.com | if I didn't, I'd eat it, and you | know how I hate the stuff.
