Does uname have the same problem? It already has a "--processor" option and IMHO it would be better to get similar information using the same tool. By the way, under GNU/Linux `uname --processor' returns "unknown". Do you think it is a good idea to read this information from "/proc"? Cheers, Giuseppe
