true, but its totally impenetrable. i wrote a few drivers and even i have absolutely no idea what those bitfields mean. >well, we'll need a kind of iec958-status-bit-composer, which is >implemented on envy24control. but i believe it should be a user-land >solution, anyway. i agree. but why are the status bit fields so long? is this following IEC958 specs? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
