That's basically how I see it. It doesn't mean we can't do better --- but I don't think we can do better by people who don't really use the mode initiating random tweaks in the hope that the world becomes a better place. We really would need someone who is in a position to take a global view of how changes to the mode affect the emulation. This is a rather different case from POSIX emulation, where there's (i) a standard (ii) quite a lot of visibility of what the effect of changes are. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Member of the CSR plc group of companies.
