Eeeeek, imake! :-) Every time I've played with precomputing cache answers, I almost immediately run into problems where the answers need to be customized or recalculated, even for situations which I would have labelled as "common". Even preloading the cache only saves a little bit of time compared to the time for all the zillions of tiny files bring created, compiled, deleted. -- <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam? <bovril> it collects data about the surrounding environment, then discards it and drives into walls
