NB does indeed mean "nota bene", which translates as "note well". It's pretty common in English, although it's from Latin. Other similar abbreviations are e.g. for "exempli gratia" and i.e. for "id est" as well as the very common etc. ("et cetera") There are lots of these, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_abbreviations for more. (I usually write N.B. rather than NB for clarity; I'd accept a pull request to fix that. ;-) ) -- Gary _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
