I've seen it time and again, a great, portable software package comes out. And then they start tweaking it peace by peace until, for largely no reason, it becomes unportable and unmaintainable. In 35 years, I've not needed memory mapped files (but I understand that that may be due to the kinds of problems I faced). Still, I hope an eye is kept on simplicity and portability. I wouldn't start adding all sorts of cute stuff. Just my two cents. Blake
