I have been using Ocaml for some time (but I'm a vi user and my code is literate programmed so Tuareg wouldn't help). And I STILL get caught by this problem regularly .. I suspect it takes even longer to find once you have experience, since you just don't expect that bug anymore (but it happens occasionally anyway). The best way to find this problem is post your code to this list -- with experience you'll find the bug immediately after pressing the Send button :) -- John Skaller, mailto:skaller@users.sf.net voice: 061-2-9660-0850, snail: PO BOX 401 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia Checkout the Felix programming language http://felix.sf.net
