but I don't have just one main.c, I have 20+ different apps, each with their own main.c, which I don't maintain, for which I'd have to issue updates. Not to mention educate the other programmers on including this ditty in each new app. the /proc way I can just update the class in the background, which is in cvs, and no one even knows the difference... but please keep responding with ideas :) -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> When you go out to buy, don't show your silver. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
