Terry, if you want to work with people instead of against them, then you have to bend everynow and then. I have looked over every bit of code you have ever sent my way. I will continue to do so. The one and most overwhelming reason I have not committed much of it yet is that so far I have completely failed to apply the patches and getting the resulting system to behave itself. The one case where this was not true, was the email you sent to current on 13 Dec 1995 (Message-Id: <199512132202.PAA00508@phaeton.artisoft.com>) with a bug fix for the vfs_cache code. it was committed 9 days later after testing was successfull. If you could submit patches of that quality and clarity, I'm sure you would see a lot of your changes go back into FreeBSD. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
