How can an external observer distinguish these two cases? Either can occur due to conditions known only within the processing node. In one case, I don't dereference because I was lazy and didn't try. In the other case, I try, but there's a glitch in my network layer and I can't make the connection. You worry that Jacek would REQUIRE that I fault only in the latter case, but how could you tell? I might always claim: "gee, actually, I never even tried to get at it." I think I'm still happiest with MAY fault. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.
