Thanks for the head's up. I saw it long ago when I was looking for a solution. It was nice, but too complex (and it was in C--, something I despise). I've got the idea rolling in my head for some time now. A part of my open source project ([EMAIL PROTECTED] buffering software) was an C multi-platform OS abstraction layer that handled tcp, processes, threads, etc. I'm thinking about taking this code out, building "Multi-Object" like option for all OS, and developing a multi-platform abstraction layer as my main free open source project. -- Take care, Gilboa Davara XML - Systems Israel. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
