Does mips c have replacements for these? > Also any hints on making the switch would be appreciated. Have you tried linking? Those functions should be in the MIPS C RTL. They are pretty standard Unix functions, and both are mentioned in section 3 of my copy of the MIPS ULTRIX docset. I think what is con- fusing you is that stdlib.h is not available on MIPS ULTRIX yet. It is an ANSI standard header, and the current release of MIPS ULTRIX is much farther from ANSI standard than VAX C. Try doing a "man system" and a "man getenv" at the command prompt on your DECstation. - Brad ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brad Daniels | Digital Equipment Corp. almost DEC Software Devo | definitely wouldn't approve of "VAX C RTL Whipping Boy" | anything I say here...
