Or if the Hurd forks, I presume - someone might do this, sometime, and we might as well consider it and find a suitable name with a bit more logical sense to it - even though /translators is a long path, it would seem more logical for me to look for translators there, than in /hurd. > And /translators is way too long. :) That's a valid point ;) -- Rune B.
