Doug's points about the candle not being worth the penny--the performance gain of stripped macro files is minimal--and that removing comments for the sake of efficiency passes the cost onto users, who generally have to acquire the commented/indented files separately for debugging and tweaking, are both valid. I'll wait to see if anyone else weighs in on this. If not, I'll rename om.tmac-u to om.tmac and remove the strip.sed bits from mom.am. -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
