OK: in AG Draft 3, XSH (System Interfaces & Headers), for aio_fsync() [not aio_cancel] it uses the same words as are in 1003.1-1996. I can see where this might be read as a "general" statement, but really this appears to be in reference to useage by applications for using the struct with aio_error() etc. You certainly cannot "ignore" the other members of the struct in all the APIs in which it is used.... mark -- ------------------------- Mark S.
