I only mean that if you do it right, you can write code that can easily be made to run on similar architectures, or different operating systems. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
