seekable stdin

[Michael Gale]

Crap ... you where right ... I was reading the Tcl seek man page ...

I would rather not use the Perl one as a file is executed for each piece 
of mail ... so perl would constantly have to be started ... if it was a 
daemon that would be ok ...

How would the C program you have work ? Would I just have to execute it 
via the script ??
