   I don't know, but MEMF_PUBLIC has never been defined too clearly since it
   has never done anything.

Quite so.  Perhaps, as Matt suggested, it should indeed be done away
with.

   Sorry if I sounded harsh in my reply, I just wanted to make sure that
   all the issues were understood.

I understood immediately.  That book misinterpreted.  Can't ever
believe what you read.  *sigh*

   That's what the net is about anyway. It allows us to toss around
   ideas and see where they go.

True, but this one got tossed around too much to be worthwhile.  A
simple clarafication would have done well enough.

   I've enjoyed this thread tremendously!

I haven't.  If I'm going to be flamed or attacked for something I
post, I'd rather it be for MY ideas -- those I can usually defend
adequately.  And modify when valid objections are raised.

On the other hand, I *did* enjoy the thread with Randell (mostly)
about "Unix V7 functionality under (or along with) AmigaDOS?"...
