Sorry I didn't email you or followup. Yes, I definitely cared about your response
and much appreciated it. (Your reply coincided with a work crisis).
Based on your response I decided to leave my inherited code alone
(i.e. let it do errordict /typecheck get exec not errordict begin typecheck end).
I apologize for not properly responding.
And while I have you here, I have another question which you might find
interesting. What about the technique of using non-name keys in dictionaries.
For instance if you wanted to execute a different proc for every resolution you
could create a dict with the resolution (as an integer) as the key:
3 dict begin
300 {} def
600 {} def
1200 {} def
end
However, I think you run into some syntax problems with this approach. Have you ever
successful used it?
