Indeed. One problem with that is usually those personal files change often, so you would have to recompile them often. But you can automatize this recompiling so it may not be a big problem. Personnally, I have a fast enough computer, so I don't bother with compiling my files. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}.
