Hi: Is there a way I can create a dynamic file? What I want is that when a program opens a file (using fopen), a pipe gets created to a program. I can do this if the program uses popen, but I can't modify the code. Example: My mailer (elm) opens ~/.sig using fopen. I have a program that automatically generates my signature. I want the output of that program treated as my signature. -- Dima Dorfman (dima@zwb.net) "640k ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981 Micro$oft Sucks!
