Without actually looking at the code, the generic definition of /dev/null goes something to the effect of: ---- open /dev/null while(1) { select on /dev/null read byte from /dev/null } ---- So basically, it just reads what is there, but does absolutely nothing with it. jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor!
