I'm not contesting that; I'm saying that using a given piece of advice over time is likely to break because people change the original function out from under you. You could argue that once a function has been defined, all changes should be done by the advice mechanism. :-) I'm not sure what should happen with the defun/advice/new defun interaction you describe, I'll keep it in mind. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
