(this is sometimes even true for the commandline tools i am writing *G*). my point however is that IF a program can be aborted, what does speak against doing a softreset (which removes the need of any cleanup code alltogether) ? i'm not saying that you shouldnt be able to leave a program at all. > > just for curiousity...what kind of tool/program is that what you think > > could nead such threatment? and why wouldnt you have it loop infinitely > > and provide an "exit" option rather than restarting it by "run"? > > I'm not sure about which treatment you're talking. restoring DEVNUM :O) i was however referring to the original post, not yours :) gpz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
