This is not necessary. The E/R files call 'rel', which is just 'put'ting some information (i.e. relation objects) to the involved class(es). You can easily do that manually, on the fly. '*Dbs' is - as we discussed in the other thread - only needed upon DB creation (then the sizes matter), and when 'pool' opens a DB (then only the length of '*Dbs' matters). All other side effects of 'dbs' again involve properties of relation objects (i.e. the file number where to create new objects, and the block size used by the index trees), which again can be done manually. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
