Have I recently fallen through a small hole in the 4D topography of space or did we have this discussion a few months back? Severl varients were suggested from strait GNU, to GNU/HURD and my own GNU (HURD) (which some people liked as a good compromise but I believe the general consensus was otherwise - which is fine by me: _I_ know that HURD is a HIRD of Unix Replacing Daemons and GNU is the whole OS ;-). BTW: as you can see from my sig, I use KDE, which uses a plug-in URL interface that from the outside looks somewhat like translators under HURD. Is it worth a programmer checking if anything in there is re-usable? Possibly not much unless you like C++ (which I don't, but then my programming ability is more suited to high-level environments like Java and Python). -------------------------------------------------------- Glenn Alexander - The man with no surname and a silly hat.
