Thanks. Somehow, the name that was reported as used only once should not have been "ClearCase::Argv" (the class name), but rather this of the object of that type, which was created and then not used anymore (after I had removed some code). But otherwise, the warning was useful and spotted a real, if minor, issue. Marc	[reply]
