Hm.. might be accurate. The style seemed SO different that I didn't want to bother with attempting to learn it. I have rarely seen a simple job that stays simple. I'm planning to learn make.. - its on the recommended list from software carpentry. somewhere in my bookmarks on del.icio.us/jbdavid/programming (automate your build process) but this is the application that might break the rule above.. - I have been trying to move new projects to python.. but continue to use perl where I am extending a previous application. _______________________________________________ Gnucap-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucap-devel
