They are some kind of scripts half-internal and half for the user - their _primary_ use is from the other scripts, but they are standalone since they can be useful for the end user as well in various situations. I can roughly remember cg-Xlib inclusion in those scripts being significantly visible on the running times of the users. > Lack of USAGE string in the *-id scripts breaks the documentation > generation because empty synopsis causes invalid XML.

Thanks, this was already taken care of by Martin Atukunda. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox
