Instead, I have another question: is there a proper reason for using the processor format for storing the info and translating it back to (struct user_desc)? I am planning to avoid this double translation because I don't like it. Any opinion? -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
