Berin: I'd agree that the dependancy creep you describe below is generally a bad thing - especially if it only turns up at runtime, that's far worse!
How can we track this down and (if possible and agreeable to all) remove the dependancy? I assume it's not a straight import if it's not happening at compile-time? I guess that's a long-winded way of saying "+1" :-) Mike On Fri, 25 Jun 2004 09:08:43 -0400 Berin Loritsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It appears that Fortress is suffering from dependency creep.
