But maybe not in any version published yet. What this represents is a _promise_ on Arch's part to never make a change in Arch behavior in which a backup file is deleted by Arch. Therefore you can protect a file against deletion by current _and_ future versions of tla by declaring it a backup. I suspect "backup" probably is just a useful feature in some future Grand Plan for World Domination in which inventory(1arch) replaces find(1), rather than something that is particularly relevant to Arch. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
