And it would take a REAL good argument to convince me that BSD sockets and Co. is cleaner than STREAMS and TLI or as flexible when it comes to code using multiple network types dynamically without recompilation. I grant youthat MOST network code is written to the BSD socket model and has a bent toward BSD OS model because BSD had good OS extentions before SV. I think it's QUITE a bit of a stretch to call BSD cleaner than R4 tho. Flames and religeous wars to e-mail, c.u.a doesn't need religous wars filling it's bandwidth... -Rob -- Rob Healey rhealey@digibd.com Digi International (DigiBoard) Eden Prairie, MN (612) 943-9020
