At one level we'll have to fit whatever I/O multiplexer we come up with in the filters. I'm going to stay out of that discussion. At a lower level, ignoring filters for a moment, we still need a way for applications to be able to multiplex I/O between different I/O types: pipes, files, sockets, IPC, etc... I think this is the root of the problem (and something we should probably move over to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and also something we might want to take up after APR 1.0 is released). -aaron
