':' in *any* Unix paths is not wise because its already used by $PATH. Likewise ';' is already occupied by version file systems. The other problems I see is: How can the script get access to the data returned by accept()? Unlike ksh93 bash4 has no compound variables yet. How can the accept() socket be passed to a child process so that request processing can be passed to a fork()ed child process? Irek
