It'd be best to use Terry's single process idea, but if I was going to do the precomiled thing, I'd consider finding a way to get those structures translated into my programming language and compile it into the binary. (And there may be some way to leave it binary, depending on your language.) But with memory and disks being what they are today, this scheme might not be worth the trouble. Anybody know any languages that allow compile-time (and/or link-time) computations using (most of?) the same language? I've often desired the feature. (I suppose some preprocessor like m4 could handle some of it.) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
