Pardon, but I do not properly understand the meaning of ENODATA in XSI streams standard. That's why I am not sure, that ENODATA and ENOATTR can be made equal to each other. P.S. I'm just expressing my humble opinion. I hope freebsd-standards mailing list will make a decision. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. GLEBIUS-RIPN GLEB-RIPE
