This is in essence why I tried to lead this thread off of this list. The OP stated nothing of being 'better'. On top of that, the OP was referencing libraries, not applications. The OP is trying to get his own code under the BSD license and that is great. Asking whether his app is 'better' than something else is a VERY relative question. 'Better' or 'faster' is something that you will have to answer for yourself after you've implemented it and given it appropriate benchmarks within your particular environment. Just like everything else in FreeBSD, there are always multiple ways to do it. This, as anything else, could possibly prove to be a way to do it 'better' for what you need it for. This truly was not meant to be a flame war. Steve
