Er, yes, I'm sorry if I left out that bit of background; I had meant to imply it when I mentioned "LinuxPPS" in the subject line, which I think of as Rodolfo's code base. I was starting from that implementation, my patches were to that code, and I was thinking about further changes. > I would not start working on yet another implementation. It's not; I've been working on improvements to Rodolfo's code. (For example, I think the PPS_FETCH ioctl interface could use it.)
