I don't think we care about POSIX at all here. If Alfred wants to write a translator which is totally non-POSIX, he should be free to do so.
What I meant was that we can disregard POSIX aslong as programs reading/writting from the file work as expected. And as far as I can tell, POSIX doesn't even come into play here, atleast with how I am thinking of implementing it. Oh, and nobody commented about the important bit, how should the translator should be set. :-) but I think the translator would be very useful for debugging tools. Exactly the reason why I came up with the idea in the first place, I was debugging ext2fs and dumping the output from it into a file, but the you only have a finite amount of space, and you are really only interested what happened before something went wrong. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
