But we aren't discussing device files. We're discussing files which do no more than return kernel-resident data in response to reads.. No need for writes, ioctls, or even reads out on the bus. Just files which return data in the format that many applications would like to see it in so that they don't have to piece the information together from multiple sources, convert from text to binary, etc. With this in mind, do you still think it's a bad idea? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
