An alternative strategy (for the dynamic case) is to have the client hand a port for the file to the console server, which can then read from it exactly as if it were a file (which it normally will be). In the passive translator case, it's perfectly fine for it to read from the filesystem, right? _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
