You're right about that the syntax checking or error messages could be improved. But I have no big interest to improve this _right now_. The more important thing is to provide a reasonable default setting that you don't have to play with the extra configuration. So, don't count me in this action. (In this case, he doesn't have to set up such a dsnoop configuration at all, as I mentioned in another mail. The default setup should work as it is.) BTW, a user-friendly error message is one of the most difficult thing in programs. Surely you've seen many examples from popluar and basic programs like gcc or (La)TeX... Anyway, as always, any improvement patches are welcome :) Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
