When you really think that doing the above will cause headaches, then the direct use of IOCTLs will do even more so. With my solution you can at least update the timepps.h file in the case there would be a change in the IOCTLs, when you access those directly you will have to solve the problem yourself. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
