Er, this is not meant to start another lame flamewar, but jumptables don't force you to recompile. Jumptables are like symbols; just think of jumptable slot 0 as your symbol "_main", etc, and they are looked up at runtime, too. After a fashion. In a manner of speaking. But I never have to recompile after upgrading my libraries. -- _g, '96 --->>>>>>>>>> gt8134b@prism.gatech.edu <<<<<<<<<--- CompSci ,g_ W@@@W__ |-\ ^ | disclaimer: <---> "Bow before ZOD!" __W@@@W W@@@@**~~~' ro|-<ert s/_\ nders | who am I??? ^ from Superman '~~~**@@@@W `*MV' hi,ocie! |-/ad! / \ss!! | ooga ooga!! | II (cool)! `VW*'
