Carlos, Take a look at "man mmap" and see if that helps. I'm not a C programmer myself, so I don't know if that is what you're looking for or not.

Some of the highlights are: - allows you to read the file using a single pointer to memory; - the file maybe contained into the swap file or you can use another swap to hold the in memory file; - you can create views of portions of the file; - you can assign a 'name' to the file to share those views among several applications; - finally, is the way to share memory among exes and dlls since windows 95. I have used this feature in the windows world. Now, I'm trying to move the applications into Linux with the idea to run them in a 390 environment. Thus, I would like to know it the feature is replicated. In case it is not present in Linux environment, I will need to make some turn around for each instance I used the feature. I will be so thank you for your hints. Carlos M. Morales __________________________________________________ Todavía no tenés tu Ubbi Mail?
