Honestly I went with strncmp() over strcmp() on little more than a
hunch. I actually prefer strcmp() as looking cleaner, with one less
arg and no need to remember the existence fo the null at the end.
Maybe I'll change it.
As to the style of logic, strncmp() and strcmp() both return zero for
an ex
So, back to this issue.
I've finally figured out how to make a bootable iso ( for future
search in the archives: /n/sources/contrib/maht/rc/mkiso ,
/sys/lib/dist/pc/mkfile , and
http://maht0x0r.blogspot.com/2007/11/roll-your-own-plan9-iso.html were
pretty much the only useful docs I could find on t
personally, since you're using it so many times, i'd
be tempted to write a little function, say "isdot" or "ishidden",
just to keep the code looking nice. that way if someone decides
to change the style, there's only one place to do it in.

after that, there was no question that i would take all the
SCSI drives for recycling. the SATA drives are much, much faster

of the old SCSI drives.
... and less likely to die.
How old are those drives?

they varied: typically 7 or 8, some 10 to 15
Heh, you got me there. It's just that I was too lazy to rewrite all the
stuff by hand. I only compared what was on the screen to that previous
message and when I saw the value were the same I pasted again the old
message. But I had indeed noticed that line was absent.

Bet they weren't spinning all that time.
Interestingly,
no matter what the manufacturers claim,
the small amount of real-world research I have seen,
as well as my own experience,
still says "5 years" for disk drives.
Also, as you say, the same timescales render them obsolete
in terms of storage
in nedmail.c:/^folder, there is an attempt to use
/mail/box/$user/f to store files saved with the f cmd,
though this isn't documented in the man page.
is this an something ancient and long-forgotten?
where does this come from?
