Falcon is not an open source compiler that we own. Perhaps Goshhawk solves all of our problem and we never need Falcon. Perhaps not. Either way I fail to see why Alex commenting on the fact that he is already trying to address my concern in a closed-source compiler is a problem. With some luck, it may one day be ours. Perhaps while it is still relevant. Mike
