MULE probably can't be localized, but I for one would like to see it tried; it would make trying different implementations of MULE functions a lot easier, and force MULE implementers into the strait-jacket rather than everybody else. Making people who have little direct interest in MULE conform to complex coding conventions that they don't understand is bad. If functions that must be MULE-aware could be localized to a smaller set of modules, it would be a good thing. Olivier Galibert was working on the possibility of different buffer alignments, with what result I don't know. -- 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 two straight lines for?
