Have looked at Hurd source for get_current_dir_name and ERANGE in the header files, and do not understand what you want. The problem is that names MAXHOSTNAMELEN, MAXPATHLEN (and NOFILES) are used like: buf[MAXHOSTNAMELEN] Please point me to an example of the code that you would like. What source package can I use as an example? Chris > > Hell, if you ported some software, make sure it propagates, so someone can > use it when he needs to.
