Caché, of course, has namespaces, but GT.M seems to provide analogous functionality though the use of "private" global and routine directories. Not being a GT.M expert by any stretch, I wonder if it is feasible to treat a routien directory as a namespace that can be imported or used dynamically (i.e., code could be written so that if you zlink "XYZ" it will first look in directory abc then, say, the system directory and finally the user's home directory).
I ask because the mehtod of assigning namespaces that are implemented as the first 2-4 charachters as routine and variable names is, well, archaic. If better namespaces were available in both Caché and GT.M it might be reasonable to consider implementing them -- at least for future work. === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Judge a man by his questions not his answers." --Voltaire ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
