-
- After poring over the sources, I found out that scan.c, when calling
- scan() will only pass the folder name, and hence set the %{folder}
- component, if -header is specified. The fix is to remove the check for
- the hdrflag variable, both when scan'ing a packf'd file, and when given
- a normal folder.

- If the diffs are interesting, I can post them here.

-
- Someone pointed out that this was the default for printing out numeric
- arguments, when I realised I had specified the question incompletely. I
- want to be able to left justify it in a fixed width field. This
- person's response was to use it as %04(num), but the leading zeroes are
- yukky, even as a kluge.
