Thanks, I hadn't thought of the simplicity angle too. I can see that there might a balance between between simplicity (obviousness) and strict correctness of all of alignment, exact size, and data type (i.e. a buffer of unsigned bytes). I guess I could argue either side of that when it came to maintainability. This message posted from opensolaris.org
