[Lengthy description deleted] Bruce, if you spent as much time (re)coding, as you do analysing and describing others code, I think we all would be better off. This is NOT the way to encourage a new contributor. The code might not be perfect, but it is a step in the right direction. Now that you have described how bad it is, and have the right ways in fresh memory, I look forward to your perfect implementation in the next couble of days :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
