BTW: at present --force does NOT force re-parsing. There is in fact no way to do this other than touching the *.flx file or blowing away the *.par2 file. The theory is that the parse depends only on the *.flx file so there's no need to ever force re-parsing, but that theory is wrong. Reparsing is needed if the Felix version is changed, and that is checked already. However it is also needed if the compiler is changed in case the data structures and initial grammar stuff are changed: this shouldn't affect end users unless they download a new compiler and use it with already installed libraries (instead of rebuilding the libraries). However the grammar IS supposedly user extensible and that isn't being checked. The easiest way to be absolutely sure is to use flx --cache_dir=~/.my_felix_cache .... and blow away ~/.my_felix_cache (but make sure to keep using the cache dir otherwise Felix will default to the cached parses in /usr/local/lib/felix!) yea, at some stage I will have to fix this too :) -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
