Pretty sure it's impossible to allow IO without enabling all of it one way or another. And as soon as you allow *any* IO, you're open to various kinds of failures including segfaults. The only way you will get your type system to prevent that is fully specified dependent typing both in your program *and in the OS level interfaces*. I wish you luck on the latter. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
