I've been thinking about that. (When not mono-focused on this grant.) In slink, I'm thinking of re-writing lessopen in C so that it will be faster. Shell scripts are slow, so is starting up Perl a lot. Loading binaries is fast. >This seems like a bad idea. "strings" is not the obvious information >to provide about an executable.

Darren P.S. less is ready and waiting on master. The new Perl package on the other hand isn't but should be done this weekend if I can get this grant out of the way. - -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.daft.com/~torin> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Darren Stalder/2608 Second Ave, @282/Seattle, WA 98121-1212/USA/+1-800-921-4996 @ Sysadmin, webweaver, postmaster for hire.
