That's the solution for the moment. When other/better solutions are available, like Anthony Green's PlatformFileDescriptor, these solutions will be used. As its not available yet I used the most simplest verserion that worked in my x86 based system. I know that there are limitations in this choice. If people have problems with this they are free to provide patches. Its all Open Source. ;-) Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/kAi0WSOgCCdjSDsRAoaGAJ9VbRnYZpUKsdrbgEa5Xzd9PsuRlACeN4rl fPPG403npAJDNyeoyZZ+FnY= =490E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
