I'm not sure it will make you feel any better, but the omission of wait.h was not "inadvertent", but deliberate. I won't defend that, since I didn't understand it, but wait.h had never been shipped on the 300 before 6.2 either. It wasn't an oversight. It's possible that because we didn't have job control and waitpid() back then, it was felt it wasn't needed. Anyway, it's there now, just as deliberately as it was absent before. > Nick Bender Rob Robason
