We did converse at length when I first started using daromizer....  (July of 
last year).   You answered some questions but I didn't have any bugs at the 
time.  You said you wrote it for yourself so I didn't bother you with the 
problems...  :-)

One 'feechur' that I asked about back then and I finally implemented myself is 
to all all of the options to be placed into an options file.  This wasn't all 
that tough to do an it eliminates editing the daromizer script to make minor 
changes.  Also makes things easier to deal with than trying to put them all 
on one line.

In looking at my copy of daromizer, I see the only things unique to the script 
file are:

1)  Directory where the slices are written  (my $place = )
2) DAR basename

The above never change in my scheme of backups.

Here's my DAR command line in the script:

my $darcmd = 'dar -B '.$place.'daropts 2>./dar.log >>'.$place.'dar.log &';

The options file would be a nice addition....    (huh?  huh?  pretty 
pleez?) :-)
