OK. That's all your code, so I'll do that. > A related point, re: changing the API.

With this policy, we don't get: No. The ABI change is for when you have multiple [released] versions installed. If you're installing the CVS version of libconcord and trying to keep the same version of concordance, in the infamous words of xkcd, you're doing it wrong. If you plan on using CVS, you best use the whole thing from CVS. If we have: libconcord 1 ABI 1 libconcord 2 ABI 1 libconcord 3 ABI 2 If you're concordance is compiled against libconcord 2, you'll need to recompile it when you install libconcord 3 (something you should do if you're playing around in not-ready-CVS-code anyway). Similarly, we have libconcord 1 API 1 libconcord 2 API 1 libconcord 3 API 2 Then you have to grab the latest concordance when you move to libconcord 3. However, CVS may go back and forth between API 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 between libconcord 3 and 4, so you best grab concordance CVS if you want to use libconcord CVS. -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk'; Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it; Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job; Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient; Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
