Given the space constraints, one has to wonder whether you have any choice. :-) It would be easy enough to add some simple conditional expression parsing to the existing tiny interpreter, but that wouldn't be anywhere near as flexible. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
