Starting from version 0.36 of vlatai (i.e. the vlatai that's built when you compile jbofihe version 0.36), there is a new command option -el to expand lujvo. e.g. % vlatai -el pareselsku pareselsku : lujvo : pa re selsku [se+cusku] Is that close enough to what you want? -- R.P.Curnow,Weston-super-Mare,UK | C++: n., An octopus made by http://www.rrbcurnow.freeuk.com/ | nailing extra legs on a cat.
