You should use 44b8; that's the latest beta.  Send me your patches
and I'll merge them in.

I'd like to release 4.4 before the December IETF, i.e. about 20 Nov 00.

Cheers, Nevil

I've recently started using NeTraMet again (I took a year or so off)
and found a small operational problem.  I tried to use the -F option
on NeMaC to append flow data to the existing flow data file.  The new
file overwrote the old file, which wasn't exactly what I was hoping
for.

I looked at the code and understand that the '##' record at the
beginning is problematic, but I'm a little unclear on why.  I've
looked through the archive and didn't see anything that succinctly
explained why.

To avoid deleting my live data by accident in the future, I made a
small change to the code which 'versions' the -F file name instead
of just opening for write....  Is there some value to sending this
as a patch, or is there a really good reason to leave the filenaming
convention (and attendant file destruction) the way it currently works?
