Well, I'm learning perl (I think its very neat). But after years of configuring software, I find the autoconfig system far superior to a configuration system where you have to interactively answer questions to a script... I find the editing makefile approach (with appropriate documentation) preferably to interacting with scripts... I still haven't got Perl 5 to build on my sparc (I spent a few hours trying) ...gawk is a breeze... -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (see http://www.lpf.org/) "I just know I'm a better manager when I have Joe DiMaggio in center field" Casey Stengel
