I have tried this version and it seems to work well on preliminary tests. Bruce, this probably is a good start for the port and I wonder if it worths having all that patching trouble you mentioned, specially when they offered to do it... I think you probably have a lot of work to do on other areas too... To Katie: does it compile with Mingw too ? ------------- Best regards, Steve Howe mailto:howe@;carcass.dhs.org ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
