Don't take checkdoc too literally. I for one strongly dislike the idea of using -flag postfixes, as I've already mentioned somewhere, among other things because it's not a widely followed convention and because many boolean variables turn into 3-way (or more) variables over time. It's more important to keep the old names than to try to follow some rarely followed convention. Stefan
