Gack! No! From TFM: "The interpretation of slash characters other than the leading slash character in name is implementation-defined." Don't do that unless you like dealing with lots of implementation dependencies. And the existing SHM driver memory structure is unsuitable for a variety of reasons, as previously mentioned (e.g. word size and byte order issues, no nanosecond support, no proper locking, etc.). _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
