You rely on the compiler to make decisions for you, because it is now the 20th century and good compilers exist. This is why, for instance, the 'register' keyword no longer exists in C++ and is pervasively ignored in C. The PDP-11 (let alone the PDP-7 where the keyword originated, in B) exists only in your mind. _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
