very good!!
C++ strings are a lot safer then C char* :)
I exchanged it in openMosixview (mostly) some times ago too.

ah, one more about the libgomd:
As it is already on our "plan" we want to provide a simple perl interface 
to the gomd too. Like the libgomd it should contain a set of funcitons
which can be used easily in external-perl scripts .... maybe later
even a Perl-module ;)
As i have still those seg-faults with the libgomd client example 
(curious, the code looks very ok to me) i will try to work also on this perl
stuff too.
Also the expect script/example i sent once will be a part of the
libgomd interface to shell-scritps

have a great weekend you all,

Matt
