I have a initial working implementiaiton of solution one, because it seemed more favorable. The release is very sloppy, so if you have trouble getting it to work, just ask. You can download it here: http://www.thelaststop.net/files/random-egd.tar.gz I had to modify egd.pl a little, so please use

Custom interface questions.

2004-03-01 Thread Rian Hunter
I'm writing a Hurd server that uses its own custom interface (ie does not implement io_write, io_read rpcs etc). Is this correct?

2004-02-23 Thread Rian Hunter
