I'll drop them a line, and see what suggestions they have.

Currently I'm merging the core code which results in mostly using the linux code with some macros and ifdefs. There are a few things I plan to keep from the freebsd side however. Once I get the baseline merged, I will begin work on the memory manager. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
