I've read somewhere on this group that tla is probably meant to be as a back-end for other UI tools, which might be a bit more stringent at applying certain rules; maybe someone else can be more thorough than me on this issue. Me, I find tla's "do what you want, it's you're life" attitude refreshing, I absolutely hate when a tool starts applying artificial restrictions and treating me (it's user) as an ignoramus; we all start as such, but we learn, and having a restrictive tool takes away the delight of learning, because then your tools don't fit quite as nicely as before, so, IMO, tla "does the right thing". -gus _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
