I apologize to you if my XML insistence annoy yours. I would prefer XML
format but if it's hard to implements to you, I give up.
You are right about an OS config files needless of standard XML format.
When I start this XML discussion thread I was thinking in a Linux aspect
who annoys me. There are some examples of those Linux config files who I
HATE:
/etc/passwd
news:x:9:13:news:/usr/lib/news:
uucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucppublic:
operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/bin/bash
games:x:12:100:games:/usr/games:
ftp:x:14:50::/home/ftp:
mysql:x:27:27:MySQL:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/bash
gdm:x:42:42:GDM:/var/state/gdm:/bin/bash
/etc/lilo.conf
# Start LILO global section
lba32 # Allow booting past 1024th cylinder with a recent BIOS

# Normal VGA console
vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k

# End LILO global section
# DOS bootable partition config begins
# other = /dev/hda1
# label = DOS
# table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins

root = /dev/hda3
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
/etc/termcap

What I say is that they are heterogeneous. Who remember what take the
fourth field of the /etc/fstab file? Did you use : or tabs to separate
fields in /etc/exports?
If you prefer to achieve a BMessage in binary format or in another way,
that is right, but I only ask you for an homogeneous format along all
the OpenBeOS config files PLEASE!!!!
