More than re-implemented I've "translated" from an older version of record.c I don't think change licensing is applicable anyway. >On the other hand, if you read or write Postfix queue files, then >your program is not supported, that is, it will break when changes >are made to the queue file details.

One more reason to replace my read function with rec_get() from qshape.pl, mantaining future version will be easier for me. Seems to be more convenient for this project copy the function and inherit IBMPL Thanks your Paolo
