Kevin, I agree with your assessment of the preference of using fprintf()
instead of sprintf() + write() + maybe malloc(). After hearing your
candid explanation it makes perfect sense not to pursue this. I’ve
only been playing with * for two months, so I’m still gathering my
bearings. As for my C skills- I must admit that it’s been many
years since I did any real work with C or C++. (I’ve been
side-tracked with Visual Studio projects and using Perl to get data flowing in
a very OS-heterogonous environment.) On top of that, I’ve been busy
learning to use * and I’m just now starting to dive into the considerable
amount of * source code. However, I wouldn’t be so quick to stifle ideas –
even “bad” ones. Everyone who read this thread now knows that
making * do the administrative work is not only impractical, but now they have
ample information as to _why_ it
is impractical. All ideas have some value, even if they represent how not
to do something. Besides, occasionally an idea starts out small and turns
big. After all, didn’t some guy named Mark have an idea to get dial
tone out of a computer to save some money on a phone system? Who knew
that the idea of dial-tone-in-a-box would spark a telephony revolution? J -MC |
