+The \texttt{estimate} command can now use the accurate code to detect changes

+You can set the accurate behavior on command line using
+\texttt{accurate=yes/no} or use the Job setting as default value.

Optionally you may specify the keyword {\bf listing} in which case, all the
files to be backed up will be listed. Note, it could take quite some time to
display them if the backup is large. The full form is:
-
\begin{verbatim}
-estimate job=<job-name> listing client=<client-name>
+estimate job=<job-name> listing client=<client-name> accurate=<yes/no>
fileset=<fileset-name> level=<level-name>
\end{verbatim}
- Specification of the {\bf job} is sufficient, but you can also override
- the client, fileset and/or level by specifying them on the estimate
