Where can I read more about how to pick the right rules? Most of the serious software I've seen says something to the effect of "go find some Imakefiles and choose from those." Is there a description somewhere? (Um, I can't qualify config/Imake.rules as "description" because it's unparseable by mere mortals who want to spend less than 30 minutes trying to figure out how to write an Imakefile.) bob desinger bd@sde.HP.COM uunet!hplabs!hp-ses!bd
