URRP! Man, you don't ask for much, do you? ;-) > I don't have the time to do it. Sniff! Well, just adding forking to the current benchmark would be a really significant improvement. Unfortunately, the only thing rustier than my overall skills in programming C (over ten years ago) are my system programming skills in C. I am willing (and want) to slowly push my way into trying to understand programs like Diablo, but that only works when I've got someone much better than I am to lean on (such as you or Joe Greco). However, I would have *no* earthly clue *whatsoever* how to even consider going about making the kinds of changes you're suggesting to postmark. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
