ok, ok... K & R doesn't say anything about specific lo-end sizes for short and int.. BUT I would like to point out to those of you who don't like the 'assume it's 32 bit' philosophy that by the standard definition, you could also apply it to a 16 bit int... that is 'assume it's at least 16 bits'... so I don't feel too bad about loosing the point. And now that the RAM: drive problem has been confirmed many times over, I'm wondering if the people at Commodore would like to comment on it? I'm dying to know why whoever-assumed-that got away with it (in terms of not handling Write(fd, buf, some_small_value) correctly).... Q: If two processes open the same file with MODE_OLDFILE, then both begin writing to that file, will it work? For example, say the file were 4K long, the first program writes random junk in the first 2K, the second program writes random junk in the second 2K... does amigados do the right thing, or does it get confused?? -Matt
