I guess it would be possible to override that behaviour, by inserting a suitable translator at the right place. It might make sense for files opened in O_APPEND mode (like logfiles usually are). But then again, there are probably better ways of doing it, perhaps by having a syslog-like process attach to a node in the filesystem. /Niels _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
