I've seen the package boottran used in many places in src/interp, therefore I (incorrectly) assumed that its interface (e.g. as old Boot translator) is almost the same as in src/boot (e.g. as the new Boot translator). Your second message, seems to indicate it is not. That information was not available to me when I sent my original message (which was a genuine question), therefore I could not gave suggested that the single command does the same thing as the two commands (I knew it was the same for bootsys, I wasn't sure for old boot). Which is why I did ask. But, apparently, I should have not. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
