I tend to agree; I'd say that descriptors are not associated with connections, they are something that "lives" on the client side. But I don't know for certain. I would say that you should leave them without AT, but it is weird that ALLOCATE lets you use AT without complaining. > Are all this documented somewhere ? The documentation seems to be a bit vague on these things... Looking at the C output and the source helps...
