I hope the Cancel makes it through. Never mind what I said in the original posting. I have been Enlightened(TM) by several people who know what happens behind the scenes of this newsgroup! To all who would deign to flame me for my naivete', don't bother. To the ones who responded and listened to my response, thank you for your understanding. I confess to being nowhere near the level of kernel engineering and hence not "in on" the behind-the-scenes stuff. My intentions were well-meant, honest! I'm extremely interested in what's happening, and it just saddened me a bit to see that while the industry plods along with Motif/SVR4, BSD _appeared_ _to_ _be_ fighting amongst themselves. Several people filled me in on this and I understand much better, thanks. "Away put your weapon. I mean you no harm." -- I'm really a software toolsmith and a musician by trade, but nobody really needs a software toolsmith much, and the music industry is so cutthroat that it would probably do me in. So I do systems administration on the side as a hobby. Funny that my hobby finds more work than either of my professions... -- People who cannot be persuaded to use turn signals or ashtrays while driving should not be permitted to drive.
