Hey Phil, That looks like a great idea. Probably jumping the gun a little, but if you could somehow produce stats on the code coverage of the tests it would help the non-techy process of making statements about code quality. We use Emacs code as part of a clinical system and this kind of stuff is extremely useful in justifying what we've done. -- Geoff Teale Cmed Technology: FSF Associate:
