Could you be more specific on "some"?
Well, the first "documentation" was the saxoncat shell script, which was trying to do this. I looked at the man page, which of course doesn't list a -I switch. I then ran gij --help, and it too doesn't list -I as a real switch. Going to google and doing a search for gij, I got to http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0/gcj_8.html which again doesn't mention -I. Going to contents I got fooled by the invoking gcj section, which does allow for a -I switch. So, I guess I can't find any GNU documentation on a -I switch for gij. As I have already reported this and something else to the saxon-catalog maintainer, I guess we might as well close this. Perhaps the GNU people could make it a little clearer that gij doesn't support -i, contrary to its cousin gcj? Gord
