Nah, we just call it a feature. :-) Seriously though, remember that lispm's are single user machines, so even if you REALLY mess up and the system's debugging facilities can't save you (they usually can - my Symbolics debugging aids are many times more powerful/helpful than those on Lucid CL on my Sun) - even if you have to reboot, you don't kill anyone else. - Marty Hall -- ARPA (preferred) - hall@alpha.ece.jhu.edu [hopkins-eecs-alpha.arpa] UUCP - ..seismo!umcp-cs!jhunix!apl_aimh | Bitnet - apl_aimh@jhunix.bitnet Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, MS 100/601, AAI Corp, PO Box 126, Hunt Valley, MD 21030 (301) 683-6455
