GBDE is the first user of what can only be described as a very green config-API for GEOM classes. One idea I have almost convinced myself to implement, despite its unUNIX like nature is to include a char erortext[256] in the request package because the idea that all errors have integer numbers gets old really really fast with the rather complex conditions some of the GEOM modules test for: return (EYOUARESHRINKINGAPARTITIONWHICHISOPEN) I think not :-) -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
