We are trying to support UNIX (a tradecrap of the AT&T Bell Laboratories) addresses. The UNIX standard is stupid of course, and we're not going to discuss this. Anyway this means a LOT of problems for VM people, and this is where I have been pushed by more than 100 complaints from more than 50 different persons. Now you're complaining about lack of usability for VM addresses. You should understand that we can't both have the cake and eat it. I'm not going to change anything. Eric
