Right, which is why a machine specific location such as /tmp or /var/tmp is better than a user's home directory. (And even if you made it platform independent, much of the fonts.mmap still depends on what fonts/packages you've got installed on each machine, so is only really sharable between truly identical machines.) -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@xxxxxxx Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
