Actually, it would not be a difficult port (I worked on the VXFS code in UnixWare a bit; I'm fairly familiar with it). The most difficult task would be the Vm/Cache issues, mostly because the new VM system is poorly documented (good code; bad docs). > 2) They want a larger market or someone to fund the development. This is more believable. ;-). Regards, Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
