Great :-) Though having translators on top of a monolithic kernel seems kind of exotic to me. I wonder whether it is reasonable to try FUSE to implement translators. I've never been much into FUSE, but the Wikipedia article says that ``FUSE is particularly useful for writing virtual file systems'', which, AIUI, is precisely the matter of interest for most translators. (At least FUSE filesystems like GmailFS, WikipediaFS, archivemount sound a lot like actual translator names.) > > However, when I tried to knock on the doors of the NetBSD project with > > questions and suggestions about translators I received *no* answer > > Could also be that your mail was overlooked... happens at times.

Hm, it didn't occur to me that such things may indeed happen :-) Thanks for pointing out :-) However, I'm afraid I won't devote time to writing another mail to the NetBSD community, because I won't be able to back it with any working hours.
