Dan, I didn't exclude the XXX comment from the pty code excerpt to hide anything, it merely seemed redundant given the code that followed (surely all those (void) casts are a reminder that this code is incomplete and needs to be finished; to intend otherwise would be unprofessional). From pty.1: .SH BUGS None known, but they're probably hiding somewhere. Fascinating; this would seem to be at odds with the XXX comment. I also don't consider that code excerpt to be at all atypical of pty; I have read the entire pty source, and the excerpted code is fairly typical, in fact it was picked at random. Given your cavalier disregard for errors and apparent incomprehension of possible sources of error, I don't think you are in any position to criticise another's programming technique, let alone Ozan's. I shall be polite here and refrain from any further comment on the programming technique so stunningly displayed by pty. And I'm not going to argue this for ten weeks. Don't you have a job or thesis to keep you busy? -- Geoff Collyer utzoo!geoff, zoo.toronto.edu!geoff
