Thanks Tom,
I started out a few years ago with SLACKWARE 3.6. Got it running, put a lot
of HAM radio stuff on it, a couple of BBS's, Chat server etc etc., sat back
and let it run. Now its time to change some stuff around, I have forgotten
what little I ever knew and am basically srarting from scratch. Seems that
wit one little caveat 2.2.13-22mdk compioles as expected. I'll keep my eyes
open for 7.0 next time I'm in the store!!
Barry
