I do not see any point in having load of } dummy modules all of them defining aliases for bin_notavail. The problem is that failure to (auto)load a module is an abortive error (i.e. kills entire scripts/functions), whereas bin_notavail is a simple command failure. This makes it difficult to decide whether to omit a module entirely or give it a clean failure mode. Being halfway in between is the problem. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
