I think the algorithm should respect the dependencies, i.e. it should place the scripts they depend on scripts they depend on $all after the these scripts. A: $all B: A C: Should give C, A, B. But yes, it's better to improve the spec to say to to handle these cases. Bye, Jörg. -- “Computer games don't affect kids.
