I don't have any objection to changing the file name associated with a handle, if it's only used by the GUI for that specialized purpose. I think in general-purpose use it could have problems related to those in destroying file handles. -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
