I don't care about speed. I want stability and perfect reliability in the interface. It must do what it did yesterday and tomorrow when dealing with scripts and function calls for code written in 1993 if needed. It may be a fad and popular to change everything all the time ( Linux ) but I'd rather that my software just keep working fine ( Solaris 8 for example ). -- Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
