I understand that viewpoint, but I cannot go along with it. The core of the philosophy of fixing the OS must be this: When at all possible, don't make happy people/programs unhappy. In light of this, when possible, try to make unhappy people happy. I think we have done this. See my previous article (manifesto) on Malloc. It shows that we (I) put a lot of effort into making Malloc compatible but also much improved. I think we (I) succeeded. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
