It depends. The issue usually arises because the include file chain changes with every platform. However, a linux-compatible include file chain could use LINUXplatform.

Right? In theory, yes. In practice, no. I doubt anyone is going to figure out the possible combinations automatically and then re-port the code to the various platforms to ensure that it works. t _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
