Right, and I really hate the handwritten parser. It is easy to cleanly use bison. Lex, OTOH, isn't easy and clean to use. IIRC it depended on file IO, etc. If you know a *clean* way to deal with this, I would favor it. Making all kinds of dirty stubs is something I don't really like. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
