Ouch, that hurts... 25% code porting calls for drastic measures... It would definitely be nice to have the same code for these two tools. Maybe extending the library or creating a new one, I don't know. But if the code is not the same, there will be some divergence at some point and that will be painfull... There must be a better way (although I don't have the answer). Patrick. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
