All too often our archives read like the wizard agreeing with the mage, and the poor sorceror's apprentices never do figure out what it is they're supposed to be sweeping up.... And the code is worse. Doesn't hurt to be excessively explicit. Uhm. Let's not mess with that code until after the release.[1] There's other stuff I want to do with the startup process (like get the option parsing parts that are in C down to the two pdump-related flags -sd and -nd :-). We should discuss that. It's probably not directly related, but I don't know that code all that well yet. I'll help Steve Y look for dependencies, when I find a minute or five. Footnotes: [1] By which I mean, commit it to the 21.5 branch, once it opens. Which should be soon. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
