I think that you two may be talking somewhat at cross-purposes. AFC removes the _unprotected_ elements. Yes, your compiler will look like swiss cheese after AFC: it will be full of holes where the unprotected elements have been removed, but the the bulk of the code will remain. As you note, every work contains unprotected elements, but most works still consist mostly of protected stuff. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
