What version are you using and running... that may be the problem too. Then again, who knows? I'll try gcc a few more times, but considering that it's behavior is not the same as cc, I may still drop it. After all, how can you make sure that every little flag that you need is set, until the program craps out on you? And then, how can you tell which one... Considering that most app's are written and compiled using cc (since it's included with most platforms), cc may still be a "safe" bet... -- ======================================================================= #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.1 jim@jagmac2.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "Kilimanjaro is a pretty tricky climb.
