Craig,

Approach David about enhancing the existing utility. If the parameter list 
can be made compatible, I'm fairly certain he will welcome the idea. If 
not, an additional routine could certainly be added to the Unix module. 
I've added several myself, that do nothing but redefine an existing 
interface to return a positive result on success. I use the toolkit in our 
production environment every day, and I'm currently working on a project 
that will need a wild card chkifs capability. Writing utilities is fun, but 
if I can avoid spending the time, it would be a big help. David's got some 
pretty nifty stuff in there. It's instructive just to look at the code. His 
parameter validation routines are great!
