SGI never stops to amaze me ... Newport and XZ are probeable somehow, PROM and IRIX gfxinit are able to do that. I want to integrate the documented probing and the special probes into the GIO framework. Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a good idea.
