Yeh, I agree -- there's a very good chance of that.  It's typical for

languages like C, anyway.  (James wrote LEdit in Turbo Pascal, right?

(...) OK, well, having to explicitly use 'sets\xxxxz-yy\' isn't really that much of a handicap in the grand scheme of things. It would've just been a bonus/freebie not to have to use it; but it's not a real problem, right? (...) Yeh, I agree -- (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
