You're splitting hairs - although I agree about documenting it. No - you're misunderstanding me. ALL I'm saying is when one uses a particular __FreeBSD_version they should document the significance of that version in the Porter's Handbook. One should be able to look up why that particular number was used. I am not in the lest bit complaining that the value 7000044 isn't the exact second the event ru is testing for occurred. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
