Though if you really want to see this in all its messy glory, look at the file filename_list.cxx in the 1.3 tarball and see how it deals with all the different versions of scandir() that we actually encounter out in the wild... Really, if you are patching 1.0 to work "everywhere" you would need something similar to that anyway! _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
