I would certainly be happy failing at configure time, so we know at the start what is broken, rather than failures during restore. > The question is *which* seek APIs we need to support. Are there any > besides fseeko() and fgetpos()? What I have added is BSD/OS specific because only on BSD/OS do I know fpos_t and off_t are the same type. If we come up with other platforms, we will have to deal with it then. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
