However, in order to be sure I'd need to check. thats just SILLY. what - so have to get gettext to map in another 500 mo files just to get translations? someone over in ubuntu/xdg/whatever land is smoking some serious crack if they proposed this as a brilliant idea. they obviously care nothing for efficiency or performance. now we need to do yet more caching and merging and mapping into mmaped files as well as montior modified timestamps of yet more indirectly accessed files beyond what we already do. incredibly brilliant. - grumpy raster up and bitching today. beware. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
