All that metadata up front in the PDDs is a bit off-putting. I'm thinking of going through all of them and putting it at the end. Any objections? Also, throughout the distribution we use variously TITLE (aka TITEL) and NAME with and without the file path. I've been using =head1 NAME path/f

2004-02-21 Thread Leopold Toetsch
I've checked in a bunch of changes WRT stack code: * register frames and pad, user, control - stacks have now common code to handle new, push, pop, and copy * COW copying is now implemented (hopefully) correctly for all stacks This should also make the GC-related memory corruption vanish. leo

My fault. I didn't specify -kb when I added the images. I suppose that's it. I'll hold off trying to fix it for the moment, in the hope that someone with more CVS knowledge will beat me to it. Mike On 21 Feb 2004, at 23:05, Steve Fink wrote: . . . P docs/pmc/subs.pod cvs server: internal
