Maybe this discussion should move there.) We discussed something very similar to this, but it wasn't so much a per-user distinction. As a package author, the name of the executables that get installed as part of my package are part of the user interface; I should be abe to control them on each platform I support. There are enough twists to this that we didn't come up with a general solution at the time, and I've not had time to revisit the topic since then, though I'd like to get something more workable over the next few months. -Fred -- Fred L.
