The current code makes a full use of alias resolution. I agree that allowing both prefixes and suffixes (for the sake of compatibility) would require a bit of programming, but this all needs to be done in two single procedures - one for opening files and the other one fro creating new files. I had created a separate list of prefixes "-gr", "-ho" etc. and it can be completed with a list of suffixes ".bpgr", ".bpho" etc. that will be handled in the same way. I am quite familiar with this aspect and I can modify the code appropriately when required. First carbonize the current version using "prefixes" and I will patch the change for dealing with suffixes. >I think the current stategy will still work, but a better way (on OS X or = OS >9) might be to use the Alias Manager since under many circumstances it can >track files that have been moved or renamed. It is already using aliases. The idea was that a user might want to store all grammars in a specific directory, alphabets in another directory, etc. Then, to make a project, create a new directory and put there the aliases of the grammar, alphabet etc. Bernard Bel <be...@lp...> Laboratoire Parole et Langage http://www.lpl.univ-aix.fr UMR 6057 CNRS - Universit=E9 de Provence / salle A464 29 av.
