I tend to avoid perl/python/etc when more basic utilities will do. It's true that virtually every system has perl preinstalled now, but mutt is also used on very bare-bones platforms (which is why the C version exists; there's a C compiler by definition). 1. We can support BSD's sed for txt2c.sh. The difference is just that BSD sed only supports \n a an ascii escape. (Will need literals in the makefile.) But - 2. Why does the compiler fail? That needs to be addressed too. -- David Champion • [email protected]
