I meant "conceptually, the right > way for a parser to work is for it to take input from a mahoste". > That wasn't a complaint. And to clarify what I said: The current parser does not take input from a ma'oste, though it descends from a version that did take input from a ma'oste at compile time (not run time). This was changed in order to make the parser run faster. The current parser can *output* a ma'oste reflecting its compiled-in knowledge. -- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was under the common law in the American colonies; so it was through more than two centuries of jurisprudence in this country; and so it is today. --_Specht v.
