If a program assigns constants to variables then it should exit() and if it was written to be restartable it should rexit(). That's all there is to it. There is no reason to let the user control the restartability. To let the user change the restartability implies that some people might not like the default. But... If the program is restartable and you want to make it non restartable, well... Why would you? No gain... If the program is non restartable and you want to make it restartable, well... Why would you? You'd screw up your system. >| James Brookes | Inet: bb252@cleveland.freenet.edu | ______________________________________________________________________ |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Phillip Vandry | Vandry@Cam.Org | II the future! | II 1993! | |________________|________________|________________|___________________| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
