I would like to use the string but Dr. Ligon wanted to avoid using a string. I assume it's because they have a variable length. We're going to need to send this across the network.
If we were going to use a string would it be better to allocate it dynamically or use a fixed-size buffer (something like 1024 bytes)? --Nick On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 2:23 PM, Rob Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, having multiple file systems would really mess with you because you > could have the same handle for more than one FS.
