OK, my experience in this is limited, but whenever I've seen a "conversion routine from language A to language B" setup - the restrictions on language A (to avoid the parser being chronically complicated) are severe and the output in language B is "not user readable". I wonder if it would actually be easier to write the different init scrips/definitions manually - thus using the best features of each system without the compromises of shoehorning it al into one common meta script. I can see a case for doing automated conversions on "simple" and generic cases, but I can't help thinking that many would be better done by hand. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
