Mark -

Just a purist's thought.... while chain is less overhead than the creation of a
new process (for other readers: since chain effectively inherits the calling
process's resources, and they don't need to be reallocated by the system), it
is still more overhead that just revectoring the flow of the program.

I hear what you're saying ... used to be an old RS-DOS BASIC technique to make
sure that string space, FOR stacks, and other goblins were properly in check,
but it's still... ahh.... voodoo (grin).

Pete
