I can imagine. I don't know if it will help, but my Publib library has a set of functions for configuration files that can make things a bit easier. I assume that a large part of the problem is to modify elm (or whatever) to select optional behavior via variables, instead of #ifdefs or other static solutions. My routines don't help with this. But after this has been done, they take care of the actual file I/O. <URL:http://www.iki.fi/liw/publib/>, if you're interested. > Although I've heard that the phantom elm 3.0 is rewriting all of that crud. Which probably means that you don't want to bother. (Personally, I wouldn't touch elm, but there may be other programs.)
