The only place this is referred to as a "stack" at all is in one comment in the libstand.3 man page, which hardly excuses you ripping me a new one. The source code in zipfs.c itself *certainly* doesn't call it that in comments. Also the way the operations are encapsulated (not stacked, since a stack could be reordered) is by directly calling "read", rather than calling through a "stack". This basically means that the reassembly order means that you would have to call the reassembly both at the read and the zfread, so that you could handle multipart for both cases of uncompressed and compressed multipart files. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
