That's irrelevant. If you write a program which just opens a file and can't work if the file can't be opened, the right thing to do is abort the program. I have LOTS of such programs, in fact almost every program I have, including Felix compiler and most of my utility Python scripts are like that. Not all programs are like that, for example Felix *.par files are 'trial' opened but if the open fails it doesn't matter because the *.par file is just a cache. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
