Upon further reflection, I'd like to leave the null/NULL usage as is. Most of it is taken verbatim from the IEEE/OpenGroup/ISO standard, that would be the place to fix it. And in all cases I believe the meaning is clear (NULL pointer vs. null-terminated string). - Jack -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
