I see absolutely no reason why you should treat the correct production of a genassym that ends up on the target machine any differently from say gcc. I should be able to precompile EVERYTHING and then recompile ONLY those elements that depend on something that has changed. So maybe that means that genassym gets recompiled almost anytime I change the kernel. Maybe it doesn't. "Make" should properly take care of it in either case. There should not be a special case for this one tool. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
