It is too hard to edit two files. Until we get near final it is just easier to do the one. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

That argument seems about on a par with wanting to hand-edit the
configure script because we don't automatically run autoconf when you
check in configure.in. If you want an automatic update procedure,
surely it would be easy to cause that to happen.

Right now text format coming out the SGML tools looks terrible so Peter hacked something up to make it look good. If we could get that tool into /src/tools I could update release.sgml and just dump the text file to HISTORY. I tried using lynx and a few other tools I had here but Peter's was better. Also keep in mind that it almost always requires a conversion of the SGML to HTML first, then HTML to text, and that is a 10 minute process, assuming you have the tools installed. It doesn't seem worth it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
