I've done a similar program. Its address is: http://wosx30.eco-station.uni-wuerzburg.de/~martin/rwg/ I think it is conceptually quite similar to 'werd'. I'm currently planning to enable the definition of constraints (e.g. via regexps) in the rules. regards Martin Hinsch -- martin.hinsch@mail.uni-wuerzburg.de 09554 / 922321 0931 / 4045858 Oekologische Station der Universitaet Wuerzburg Glashuettenstrasse 5 96181 Rauhenebrach Germany
