It's sort of a dry run with extreme prejudice :-) --dry-run should normally be designed to simulate full execution of the command and provide useful feedback. My --abort is perhaps one step in that direction: it lets _most_ of the command _actually_ run and then shoots the process in the head before it does anything stupid :-) Cheers, -- Dr. Denys Duchier Équipe Calligramme LORIA, Nancy, FRANCE
