Hello all, It seems as though the 'load' command loads the file as any good interpreter would - linearly. So, the modules and classes and whatnot that the load-ed file might subsume don't get replaced in memory, leading to very interesting possibilities in memory usage. Am I right, or can classes get GC-ed? That is: while 1 load 'somefile.rb' end would end up filling a lot of memory. Jimmy -- jjthrash SPAM pobox SPAM com
