I don't think the intent here is to create a Sun Studio support forum as it is to create a forum where we can discuss problems directly related to compiling OpenSolaris code. In other words, discussing which versions of compilers work / don't work with the code, what flags or options may be needed, changes to code to make it work with certain compilers, etc. I would definitely agree though that we do not want a Sun Studio support forum, at least not until Sun Studio becomes open source like everything else at Sun and becomes part of the project :) -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
