Subject: Re: Is dcov working?

(I got your e-mail about this; I've just been quite busy :))

If you want to do any specific analysis, you'll need to write your own
analyzer and probably hack the generator.  You can see the current
quality analyzer here:

http://dcov.rubyforge.org/svn/lib/dcov/analyzers/quality_analyzer.rb

I'm going to hack on this in the next few weeks to make it really easy
to specify your own analyzers (a config file + command line param).
I've just had my head down in work/other projects/finishing up my
book, and I didn't think anyone actually used dcov. :P

Thanks,
Jeremy
