according to the report there should be no connection between modules and files, and one should be able to have multiple modules in a file, and even a single module in multiple files. however none of the implementations support that, so in effect there is 1-1 correspondence between modules and files.

the reason for this is that it provides an easy way for the implementation to find the modules.

But surely it's also a significant discouragement to those who would write small modules, and therefore a Bad Thing, at least until editing and displaying multiple files is made sufficiently easy? Jón -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk
