Forgive me for top-posting, but I am so excited by discussion of new configuration file formats I just had to. I see discussion of JSON, XML, and I feel I must also suggest Sumerian Cuneiform. Cuneiform is exceedingly compact and not vulnerable to inadvertent or erroneous changes: http://salenacastro7.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/cuneiform.jpg That says: "mark all outgoing traffic with diffserv to make it go fast on teh Internet". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.

Unfortunately, checking on my Mac I can''t find Sumerian Cuneiform as a font/input method which is a pity since I would have thought such pictorial systems could produce some nice compact code. :D -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson. Novels - poetry - short stories - ideal as Christmas stocking fillers.

So many applications have odd names nowadays, so "cuneiform" didn't even sound so bad. Well, maybe the 'Sumerian' bit did raise my eyebrow just enough to get me to click. They are *so* elite. I think they initially used cuneiform to write BSD, later in history. Tom, please do build in support for this format, I think it might be the Next Cool Thing™. Heck, maybe I'll even buy a shirt that says "I write my configs in cuneiform". :) -Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
