Leigh, The cause is simple (as always), Dave had implemented this for his flarq program and asked if I could use it. It was better than the file system interface, so I took the time to change it. I would be more in favour of a TCP socket, and I am sure that will be easy to implement in some future. In pskmail the changes will be trivial. 73, Rein PA0R > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Gesendet: 03.08.07 06:58:05 > An: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Betreff: [pskmail] Re: Status of version 0.5 > > Rein, > I saw this go into the codebase and wondered why you and Dave choose SV > message queues instead of a socket interface.
