In terms of the file contents, disconnected operation is just a set of additional restrictions on cache semantics, no?

There's a pretty good chance that proof itself will be on the order of difficulty of generalizing venus. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.Received on 2004-09-23 23:20:39
