Just to head this crap off right here, the "bloat" for a single tk version is about one megabyte. Let's contrast this with thirty-odd megabytes for emacs or more than sixty for xemacs. Looking at it from another angle, it costs you about ten US cents per tk version, as opposed to about six dollars for Xemacs. This is turning into another Boggle-esque argument. 8( -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
