That way, you get consistency with all of the other GNU utilities. Even if you don't, I would recommend using ints rather than bitfields. Accessing a bitfield is slower than accessing an int, and the amount of memory involved is trivial unless you are dealing with a large number of such structures. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
