> 1. A better name would be a great idea. When I saw “mime backup > program”, I immediately thought of mimetypes, when I shouldn’t. This has been my biggest fear and I have always felt uncomfortable with the name because of that. Unfortunately, I have been trying to come up with something better since I started writing this program and can't seem to come up with anything that fits. I'll give it another go since this is a big deal. > 2. lsmime doesn’t use -- in front of arguments, although mime does. See (5). This came about because I wanted lsmime to use more of an svn or "human" like syntax that is much easier to read and remember. Both programs used to use the - or -- syntax, but it made lsmime very confusing and required constant references to -h. Old lsmime -r -id 5 rc.conf New lsmime restore rc.conf from backup 5 > 3.

I have unit tests, I just didn't distribute them. I know I should and will in the future. Your information and feedback is greatly appreciated. Seems like once you think you know enough, you learn their is a whole new world to explore. Thank you Squall -- Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift.
