This whole thread is making me break out in a cold sweat! :-) : :I don't know if Matt will take this as a compliment or an insult, but I :learned most of my early C programming from his code...... : :And I learned a lot of my early server and/or systems programming from :trying to backport dnet to run on a vax after Matt had switched to :something Sun-like and was byte order problems started to slip into the :code for exporting a unix tree to an Amiga mountable filesystem the packet :serial link. : :Cheers, :-Peter Ooohh... dnet. I remember dnet. Yah, there were a few byte ordering problems. There was also a bug somewhere in the protocol that I never was able to track down. That was also my first attempt at using SIGIO. What a disaster! A lot of people managed to get it to work, though, and I would occassionally get an email from some unix system administrator asking me what the frig was the little process his users were leaving running in the background!
