It does pay to program cross-unix as much as possible, though I have come to the conclusion that including Solaris in *ix is costing more of my time than I have and therefore not worth it for me. I don't have access to AIX or HPUX (or others) so can't even test, but I expect it to be similar there. Programming on as few assumptions as possible has been good practice forever, therefore pointing out that something requires the GNU version of X is certainly not OT for this list (IMHO). Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
