Some different idea: Rename imc{parser,lexer}.[ch] files in CVS to imc{parser,lexer}_c.generated. In non--maintainer mode these files are simply copied, wheras in --maintainer mode the files are regenerated from the sources imcc.[ly]. I think gcc uses something similar. I don't think we even need to preserve the history imc{parser,lexer}.[ch]; they are generated files anyway. bye boe -- Juergen Boemmels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Physik Tel: ++49-(0)631-205-2817 Universitaet Kaiserslautern Fax: ++49-(0)631-205-3906 PGP Key fingerprint = 9F 56 54 3D 45 C1 32 6F 23 F6 C7 2F 85 93 DD 47
