Yes, I got the email. Thanks for the feedback. I'm definitely going to do something about the line length (there's been enough negative feedback on that choice). At the very least it will be sensitive to an environment variable. I'm trying to decide on whether or not to include the 'stty size' trick or not. The platform checks seem to me to be fragile. I'm thinking of checking for terminal width in this order: (1) Explicit environment variable (2) stty size output (3) assume 80 characters Open questions: (a) Should I bother with the stty check, given that's it is fragile and won't work on a significant number of platforms? (b) Would it be better to assume infinite width rather than 80? -- -- Jim Weirich -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Rake-devel mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rake-devel
