Just out of interest, are there any plans for glibc to have the facility to report translator-specific error texts? Not sure how that would work; I suppose you would have another errno variable which translators could set and then have a strerror-like function that each translator implements? Would that be an addition to the file protocol? I haven't gotten into any guts proper yet so I'm not sure how translators go about being translators. -- Bob Ham: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GNU Hurd: http://hurd.gnu.org/ http://mp3.com/obelisk_uk A pessimist expects the weather to get worse.
