XML is almost certainly a better option.. the more I look at it, the more I think it will cover most all of the config file issues that I have, both at home and RealJob[tm]. Be advised, however, the ports/textproc/libxml has a 2.0 version floating around "out there" on the GNOME sites, which does have a reasonable amount of incompatibility at the API level.. my understanding is that the 1.x series is now end-of-life. Having said that, the port isn't going to change quickly.. a whole bunch of stuff depends on it right now. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
