Yep... For the record, we don't use any of this right now, and I doubt that building with it defined would work at all. In the old days, the scoreboard was implemented as a file; we added mmap() and shmget() later, but always kept file-based around. What we do now is use shared mem exclusively, whether it maps to a file or not. The 2 are very different :) -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both and deserve neither" - T.Jefferson
