Yeah, but some of the same problems are present when it comes to Linux...
Perhaps I should go back to ReCache... Perhaps as a cron job? `Flush the
darn caches every hour -- this ain't no fileserver' :-)

I didn't think the alignment was a problem?

And would looking up the real, physical address be any easier in Linux?
(The code could run with root access, if neccessary...) But perhaps you
don't know anything about Linux at all, and I'm just throwing out questions
in the wild... Guess a cc to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is in order. (Thanks to all
you replyers, BTW.)

If you asked if I had a good weekend, the answer was yes, I had. Thank you
very much :-) (Now only one more week, and we'll have a week's vacation.
Sometimes, going to school is not that stupid...)
