Hi Arpad,
The second variant seems to be a better choice if the allowable file types are
limited to "parameter" and *.ami files. Nevertheless, the concept and allowable
contents of an external "parameter" (*.prm ??) files need to be defined,
perhaps outside of this paragraph.
Reference to the current IBIS file is probably best done by leaving an empty
file_name string, or saying differently by starting the parameter reference
with the opening parenthesis.

Subject: [ibis-macro] Comments on BIRD 117 draft2
Hello everyone,
I am trying to update the draft of BIRD 117 we discussed in the last ATM
teleconference, and I have some questions.
There was a comment that the parameter references should not be allowed to
point to other .ibs files.
" The file reference may point to the .ibs
|***** file itself where the reference is made from, or any other
|***** external file that is located in the same directory as the
|***** .ibs file, including .ami files, or other .ibs files."
I am trying to find a good and logical rule for this, but I have a hard time
with it. If the rule is to allow these references to point to the .ibs itself,
or any external .ami files, or any other text file containing a parameter tree,
why couldn't this "any other" file be another .ibs file?
In other words, what is the best way to exclude any other .ibs file from these
possibilities? Should the rule be worded like this:
" The file reference may point to the .ibs
|***** file itself where the reference is made from, or any other
|***** external file that is located in the same directory as the
|***** .ibs file except other .ibs files."
Note that this wording would still allow weird situations where the file that
contains a parameter tree might contain other things, like emails, or what have
you. Would it be better to say the following:
" The file reference may point to the .ibs
|***** file itself where the reference is made from, or any other
|***** external file which contains nothing else but parameter
|***** trees and are located in the same directory as the .ibs file."
Comments suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Arpad
