Of course you have to live with the vendor libraries and header files for now (in the case of Ultrix this is a lose). Send me mail if you want more information about GNU C. I have a few minor things to clean up currently. -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
