great work on the mmap front, Marvin. How big an issue is 32-bit support? Can you even buy a 32-bit box anymore? I expect the ones in existence will be around for a few more years, but when someone like Apple drops support for them in their OS, you know the end is nigh. my 2c. -- Peter Karman . http://peknet.com/ .
