Also, if a sed script that modifies comments is too great a burden to bear for such a beaurocracy, then using a different compiler should be even more of a red-tape jungle. If it isn't, the management system is broken and you might as well not bother with all those burdensome processes anymore - they're not doing you any good.
Much as I agree with your sentiments, in many environments, the use of ISO 9000 is *required*, as in you don't get the contract if you don't follow ISO 9000. I have not seen any evidence, personally, that ISO 9000 actually ensures a perfect product, but it is a political requirement of many environments.
I'm not familiar-enough with ISO 9000 to judge whether a sed script is "too great a burden", but I once worked in an environment where writing a Python script to clean some ugly code got someone (not me) fired for using an "unauthorized tool", even when the script produced a clear benefit for the project. I did not stay at that workplace very long.
Is anyone using GCC in an ISO 9000 environment? Just curious. -- Scott Robert Ladd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Coyote Gulch Productions http://www.coyotegulch.com
