Can someone please help me get it in before the 5.1 code >freeze? Heh. Actually I'm thinking of doing something similar for some parts of lpr & friends. There are some messages which sometimes print out a small number (200 bytes) and other times print a huge number (>2 gig). I've even exchanged a few messages with BDE on what the best implementation would be. I already have too many things I'd like to get done before the code freeze, so I won't get to this before that. However, if this is still around after the freeze, then bug me again and I'll claim the PR and look into it. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
