This may be true. That you personally believe this, I mean. But that belief is mistaken. "Mere aggregation" means making a loose collection of separate things. Trust me on this one, my native language is English. An example of a "mere aggregation" is two books bound together in a single spine. However, if two authors were to cooperate to produce a single book, this would not be a "mere aggretation" - it would be a tightly integrated whole - just like a single binary resulting from a compilation process. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
