It's my time, and I spending it as I see it fi= t) You get all the information that you need to work with the registry. Insisting on that other people should do an additional work just to please = you will considered (at least by me) as wasting time and increasing inform= ational noise because there is nothing new or valuable in the additional ma= ils . > Eg. in perl it is just one command called chomp. > > May be.

In case you are using C you can even omit that because terminating a string= with a zero byte is the native way of C to represent strings.
