So the first link you come to, you follow silently. You park at the second whatever it is, however. This gives us the flexibility of indirection without need for loop detection (remember processors where you could loop the microcode with indirection). It also makes targeting a link more difficult, but not excessively so. -- David _________________________________________ David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu \ david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science \ Sr. Analyst http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ \ Dynamic Diagrams --------------------------------------------\ http://dynamicDiagrams.com/ MAPA: mapping for the WWW \__________________________Received on Wednesday, 5 March 1997 15:23:16 EST
