Conjecture about what could be done at some point in the future with dirent isn't currently part of the case under review. The one on-topic issue I see here is whether the original case as presented was complete without a consumer for this new directory type information. I didn't see a consumer, so should that part be deferred until there's something that can actually make use of this information? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
