Hi, Carl,
Since I'm under attack here :-}, let me reply (without getting too deep
into philosophy):

I don't think there is any hostility, nor is any intended. Your
assumptions about these lists are correct. Perhaps I should litter my
replies more punct-icons :-}
I basically asked a simply question, now if it is too simplistic in
nature to some, then I can understand just not taking the time to
answer, or in other cases if someone does not have the answer, again
they just do not need to answer.
If you feel your question had a simple answer, then we disagree. The
routine you are talking about is a bit involved, and took some time to
get right. Since you are going to use it, it behooves you to
understand it beforehand (at least, that's my feeling, and I'm the one
who's currently discussing it with you).
It seems this m_dup issue is more of a personal attack to the effect of
how I do my research and or learning, of the mac/unix environment.
I certainly wasn't attacking you. I wanted to get a feel for what you
had looked at, and what problems you had in understanding the code.
With that settled, it would be easier to complete the dialog.
Is this forum not hosted and run by Mac/Apple? And also is not one of
the formats of these lists/forums to help/encourage
programmers/engineers to develop applications for the MAC OS?
Yes, it is hosted by Apple. The good folks who do that work have a lot
to do, in addition to this, and their job descriptions don't include
Adult Supervision. They'll get involved if things get out of hand,
either on-list or off-list. That they haven't should indicate
something to you.
You should not feel attacked, and you should be aware that email is a
problematic medium for expression, so it is important to dig into the
content of messages and be sure you understand intent before reacting
to it. Damn. I got into philosophy.
Enough of that. Back to your concerns about m_dup(): do you want to
continue the discussion?
Regards,
Justin
