In fact, there's almost no use of 'mkdir' in the whole thing. A few stray bits in the less maintained parts, and the tests. Now that we have a portable mkdir -p I could junk the whole INST_*/.exists thing to ensure that those directories exist and create them at the point they're used, like we do with nearly every other directory. Problem with that is finding all the places its used. I'd rather avoid making a large change like that if I can. If I can just timestamp off some other file, that would work. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Plus I remember being impressed with Ada because you could write an infinite loop without a faked up condition. The idea being that in Ada the typical infinite loop would be normally be terminated by detonation. -- Larry Wall in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
