I heard the term "static analysis" from a compiler writer who had never created a PowerPoint, or even used MS Excel in his entire life. That tells me that using the term "static analysis" is a step in the right direction, not a step into management. :) Tools that operate on source code, without compiling and running it, fit into that category, so in a sense, grep is a static analysis tool. So is cscope. Have fun hacking. --Dave -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
