Well, it is just wonderfull !!! Take a look at the URL to understant better what I am talking about !! It is a real file system !!! Don't ask me how usefull this is, because I didn't make it to be usefull, but cool !!! hehe !!! Well, perhaps, it could offer clients a manner to acess a jabber network WITHOUT the need of libraries written in the same language, or they don't need libraries at all !!! Just a simple IO lib for opening unix/linux files, and you are done !!! Imagine clients being written as fd = fopen("/mnt/jabberfs/samuelgoto.jabber.org/messages","r"); fscanf(fd,"%s",message); fclose(fd); And remember : they don't have to be written in C !!! hehe !!! Well, I will wait now your answers and comments, please, give me any feedback , cya, mel PS Peter, SOC was a great thing in my life as you probably noticed !! ehheh !!! -- f u cn rd ths u cn b a gd prgmr !
