Yes, it sure is. Remember, this thread started because the ANIMALS
example was broken, because there was an -extra- "" line. Now if
you've got thousands of lines of existing CLIPS file-handling code,
you can see how -missing- "" lines would be just as
troublesome. Little things can make a big difference!
I've got the plan I described yesterday implemented already - it works
perfectly. ANIMALS works, file-reading works right, everything's
hunky-dory. So with luck, I'll release a 4.1b3 today or tomorrow.
