The rest of your message should probably be addressed to parties > at Posix on why and how they invented stuff. Consider it done. As Julian pointed out to me, the name spaces are non-colliding, so there's still some hope of an aioread/aiowrite/aiowait/aiocancel, so we can have the defacto standard interfaces as well as the POSIX "we are a standards body, and Microsoft should bow to our authority" ``standards''. Why don't they add same-function-but-incompatible interfaces for all of the things in Win332 and not in UNIX while they are at it so we can be assured that the situation is truly hopeless...
