We use it all the time. Bewt for humungous kernel sources (like SVR4). >Enhancements I have made include: We added a 'mid' tool that brings up more(1) or $PAGER on the files just like eid(1) does. (I have PAGER="less -MC") We too would be interested in enhancements and bug fixes. In partiticular, 'mkid -u' doesn't work reliably, corrupting the database. Also, something is wrong with mkid's hash algorithm and it goes into infinite loops every now and again... always on the same source file. I put in a trap for that case so that it aborts, but it really need fixing properly. We also fixed a few miscellaneous bugs. I would be willing to share my enhancements, but unfortunately I have no time to do a merge. Ian D
