It's called "progress".

 BV> Nope. SALT doesn't do anything. That's like saying, "I can't remember
 BV> if C deletes a file after I've read it." However, TPOINT will delete

No, saying "if the SALT script deletes" is like saying "if the C
program deletes".  Saying "if C deletes" implies "if
the C language
deletes", which is a quite different thing.
