Right, there is no point to keeping around stale defines. Of course I was curious, and that's part of my problem: I get too curious. > I have, you cleared things up for me.

The problem is that I have to be careful not to misplace any data during the drive swap and that always ends up taking a lot of time. > I take it that you feel this wasn't worth it?

It is always worth cleaning the code up, but I just wish that you had done a build check and sent a patch instead of asking whether the flag could be removed. In this case you got lucky that you didn't do a build check because your cross compile is broken somehow and you would have mistakenly thought that -DNO_TCP_H is required. > I've never heard you say these remarks regarding your X skills, I just > assumed...

I try to reiterate my lack of X user skills at least once per quarter :) Ah, that's the problem... I've never had to use xmkmf. I would appreciate it if you gave me the name a small project that uses xmkmf, then I could check this out much more easily. Harold
