So you're boiling your eggs with a hammer? For me it's not that complicated to write in German, English, Perl, awk, Bourne sh, tcsh, ksh. ELisp and French are a bit more complicated, I admit. A bit too complicated is definitely Bash with its too many modes of operation. Before I start thinking in which circumstances a Bash script might be used and how I could prevent failure, I better switch to another language that is failsafe. -- Greetings Pete Make it simple, as simple as possible but no simpler.
