Not sure about that, it just seems nice to have everything in one 
place...nice GUI interface and all for viewing...of course, if it
doesn't work I guess its not so nice :-(

Cool...haven't played with rpm much, that should be handy once we
get RPM stuff integrated..."upgrade from rpm" should generate the
new package and upgrade the help screen too!

every little bit helps...maybe RPM dumps that out also ??

Hmmm...still smaller than downloading the source file :-)

Awww...what a way to ruin a good day !

BTW, I started using the bug tracker to post some bugs and new
features for pwlconfig...looks like a nice way to track everything...
Any suggestions or bugs you find, just post them there - once the 
list gets big enough, I'll try to get everything fixed for the next 
release.

Next is to get the CVS thing working too.

Later,
Ralph
