I implemented the "write" side of this proposal and committed it to CVS, along with regression tests and documentation. The "read" side is slightly more work but I can do this one too if people want it. I'm not sure there's much advantage to it over $(shell cat <file>) as this is unlikely to be a performance bottleneck. Although from a portability and implementation alignment point of view it would be useful. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
