That is my primary reason to keep the Makefiles, the Mamfiles and the remaining AST sources around (even the iffe probes) around. Otherwise any person not familar with the sources will need both the sources in OS/Net and the original AST ones to do navigation in the sources (<idea mode="evil,joke,smiling,little_devil">We're not allowed to put tar.gz files in OS/Net, right ?</idea>). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
