NeXT's ( NeXTae? NeXTi? ) seem to have an interesting aversion to FIFO's. I made a FIFO in my filespace that lives on a Sun 4, and tried to use the FIFO with my file space mounted on a NeXT. I'd forgotten that the FIFO existed, and hadn't put anything in it. When my newsposter tried to read from it, a nifty system panic window popped up, scrolled a bunch of friendly error messages and died. regards _____________________________________________________________________________ | Erik O'Shaughnessy | Small Systems NOTHING. | New Mexico State University | Las Cruces, NM USA | eoshaugh@dante.nmsu.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
