Yes, I was rather surprised, too. In fact, the first couple of runs I thought I must have made a mistake and compiled with (for instance) MemSet() instead of memset(). But I triple-checked, and I hadn't. FWIW, here's an example of what I used to call the compiler: gcc -O2 -DBUFFER_SIZE=1024 -Ipostgresql-7.2.1/src/include/ memset.c A -- ---- Andrew Sullivan 204-4141 Yonge Street Liberty RMS Toronto, Ontario Canada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> M2P 2A8 +1 416 646 3304 x110 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
