That's fine -- but it should be optional to specify the multi-method, and if not specified, it use some user-specifiable default. The plethora of methods provided by tramp is good, but I think most people will only want to use a few in their environment, and can default quite a bit. [In any case, the syntax chosen should definitely make it possible to leave out the multi-method, to allow for the future.] -Miles --=20 .Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
