(as acting head of the complaint dept., i would know.) nontheless, i recently hacked pathalias so that if the link x -> y is declared, y -> x is presumed. i give the latter a very high cost so that the link will be used only as a last resort, unless of course the input data indicate a cheaper cost. this has the effect of putting the "unreachable" diagnostic in the output rather than stderr, but it seems to be what people prefer. i don't see what this has to do with domains, nor how domains would help. peter
