Dbopen() with NULL path name creates invisible db file. It is useful for many applications but I didn't use it because: 1. In htags, temporary db file might grow up to hundreds of mega bytes or more. If the file is invisible, the administrator of the machine cannot understand why file system is full though there is no large file. We shouldn't make invisible, huge temporary db file. 2. It is difficult for us to debug programs using unnamed, invisible temporary db file. -- Shigio YAMAGUCHI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Tama Communications Corporation PGP fingerprint: D1CB 0B89 B346 4AB6 5663 C4B6 3CA5 BBB3 57BE DDA3 _______________________________________________ Bug-global mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-global
