hello Ted, note that in most gc systems, you can't say "clean up X right now!" which can be unfortunate when you are talking about trying to clean up some X other than just memory (files, sockets, whatever else). see, for example, IDisposable in C#. (e.g. http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20050625.asp) sincerely (+ apologies if this was an unnecessary thing to say that only made gc more confusing to understand, but i think it is a very relevant thing that folks from non-gc'd languages would be curious about.) _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
