Better use a longer name > though ("pikaconv"?); pc means "pascal compiler"... :-) Unfortunate if pc is in fact taken. Perhaps pconv - this is the type of thing that really wants to be as short as possible. If not pc, perhaps ac (arch escape conversion), aec, tc, or something similarly short. It's the kind of thing where a naming convention should have been decided on years ago, where perhaps the first letter is always "c" (for convert) the second "e" for escape, and the third specific to the app. Perhaps we can start such a convention. cea|cae? cheers zen _______________________________________________ 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/
