But do you breathe with or without a cigarette?

aaahhh, pedantic mode is not helpfull
in the moment, but it will be added before
launch...
nowadays most the time I'm hunting in an irregular,
undiscovered, sometimes hostile data-space,
interactive in emacs idl-pvwave mode and try to
survive with hybris and tons of existing or
'ad-hoc' tools. probably very common...
I don't want to fight against IDL too --
but while IDL *promised* an umbrella (i.e. 'heap_gc')
I was flying into a passion when I got the
impression, that this umbrella don't work
*just* in the case of rain.

ok, I will go back to C where I'm starting
fifteen years ago. oh, not really... :-)

Ah, well, no one said life was going to be easy. I only
learned how to free pointers and objects because my programs
were embarrassing the hell out of me with memory leaks
every time I offered one up to the newsgroup. Now I
have the conviction of a reformed smoker. :-)
Take three deep breaths and spend five minutes
thinking about it. It will be done...without
resorting to C. :-)
Cheers,
David
