-
- I agree wholeheartedly. The release notes describe the operation and
- limitations of your REXECD implementation and you have taken great
- pains to qualify its utility whenever you posted references to it.
-
- Mr. Phillipps @unipalm did not express the limited situations for which
- REXECD would be useful, and I know you would not want people's expectations
- raised beyond what this nifty little program does.
-
- In retrospect, I should have typed "before suggesting it as suitable"
- rather than usable, but I thought that was given in the context of
- the message.
