On order for the variable parser to do any reasonable work, I need to get a feel for how Juliet handles configuration items; it's kind of a chicken-and-egg siutation. > > So, at this point, do you have any documentation for Juliet?

Will do. I've subscribed to -config, and (obviously) copied this message to it, so we'll start getting archival of these messages. > > I'm afraid I've already slipped past any ability to get this into the 3.0 > > release, but I do want to make progress on it. > > We'll see. Regardless of deadlines, progress would be highly desirable. Yeah. That's kind of what I thought, too. > Juliet in its current glory is available at > ftp://ftp.gsoft.com.au/misc/juliet.tar.gz I'll go get it now. Oops, it was here before I could finish typing. 20K!

I hope to have some semi-intelligent questions soon. Or perhaps I won't have any; your code may be so obvious I don't need to ask questions. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
