To put that in a more positive light: we like to think that our code is Posix-compliant and runs in a Posix-compliant environment. We're not thrilled about introducing non-Posix-isms for the convenience of one platform ... especially if there's no easy way to enforce that the nonstandard coding convention be used. Back on track: if rename() does exist under Windows then my idea is unreliable. Any other thoughts? How about #including <io.h> in port.h (for Windows only of course) before we #define these things? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
