We should be more consequent here, if your code actually works on *both* Windows *and* Linux, then we should investigate whether we could also get this working on MacOS as well. I have checked Macports but haven't found anything looking like sg yet. Can you provide a link to the upstream website of libsgutils? If we can get this library to work on MacOS as well, we can integrate the format command into qhimdtransfer which would be a great improvement, wouldn't it? Great idea, thanks! Adrian
