[Question #1] I'm running FreeBSD 2.0 RELEASE, and currently, I'm allowed 64 open files per process. [ getdtablesize() and sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) return 64]. I need to push this up to at least 256. I would like to push it even higher, but sys/select.h has MAXSELFD defined as 256. For 2.0R, sysctl -w kern.maxfilesperproc = 256 fails since "kern.maxfilesperproc" is not recognized by 2.0R. I'm thinking about going to the 03/22/95SNAP and may be hack with the source itself. [QUESTION #2] I would like to write some multithreading apps, and what packages (free of course) do you recommend? LWP? And where may I get them? [QUESTION #3] Is there a HACKER'S FAQ out there? THANKX!!!!!!!!!1 TR Nguyen --------- Problems with Microsoft products? ---------------------------- 1. Extend hand 2.
