I'm finally back after 3 weeks of forced disconnected life (stupid ISP unilateraly decided I had moved !?) I wasn't exactly inactive in the meantime though. I wrote a complete pipefs replacement, since I needed that to update my XEmacs port (the R5 one was stuck in select() after the last writer was closed). (It uses the R5 fs API for now) Btw, I noticed the one in our tree wasn't much finished... and... shrug, in C++ :P François.
