It's not surprising almost no one has noticed about it, the only application that I know that uses it(EFIS) remains unreleased for unknown reasons despite my repeated requests. *sigh* Oh, and the man page index doesn't contain any reference to gpsfs(8) Any reason why /sys/lib/man/lookman/mkindex is not run automatically? There seems to be quite a few things missing from the index. (The comment at the bottom of man(1) about lack of automatic way of keeping indexes uptodate can probably be removed.) > Although, I may want my gpsfs to produce s-expressions. Oh, yea, because s-expressions are so much easier to parse with awk... I think we should replace /adm/users to use s-expressions too, and /proc/$pid/ns should also be s-expressions! And next we replace rc with a scheme interpreter... I love scheme, and s-expressions are a billion times better than XML will ever be, but I'm starting to suspect s-expressions fanboys are not too different from XML zealots and think s-expressions should be used for everything everywhere. S-expressions are not much better than XML when dealing with them from a Unix/Plan 9 shell, and I can think of very few, if any, cases where they might be justified, specially having in mind that the file system already can provide a hierarchical structure. uriel
