What do you mean with "to replace in the near term" ? Is somebody already working on them ? If somebody is working on them : what kind of shared-libs will they be ? ( SYSV shared-libs , SUN-shared-libs ? ) Do they need kernel-support ? I'm asking this because if there would be SUN-type shared libs another a.out , exec,nlist ... format change would be needed . |> |> |> chris |> -- |> chris g. demetriou cgd@cs.berkeley.edu |> |> smarter than your average clam. mfg.
