Well, as soon as someone who can write the code wants it - or gets paid to do it - it'll show up. I'm planning on looking at the driverfs in OSX, to see how much of them can be reused. A lot of that depends on how portable Apple's code is. That's the single most tempting thing about OSX - that I can buy a laptop that runs a Unix supported by the vendor, so I don't *have* those kinds of problems. Well, won't after they finish the thing. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
