Also, that should involve the evaluation Resources/Environment, as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The interesting thing about MountProgram, though, is that one could specify a wide range of programs so that a completely isolated environment could be created, composed *only* by the desired applications -- that's not possible with an approach based on UseProgram. -- Lucas powered by /dev/dsp _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
