I don't see anything in HtConfiguration.cc, conf_lexer.lxx, or conf_parser.yxx that would allow us to intercept the unterminated last line and add the newline to it, so it would be taken by the lexer to be a full line. That means the only way to deal with this, short of telling users "tough luck, just properly terminate your files," would be to rewrite the grammar in conf_lexer.lxx to be less dependent on newlines. Maybe define an EOL character class that can be \n or EOF, and use that instead of \n everywhere? But would this break the current EOF handling, or something else? I don't understand lex/flex enough to venture into this. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
