It's not a bug it's a feature. I'm surprised your windows compiler didn't complain about the same. It's telling you that you're trying to pass a const string into a function that doesn't garauntee constness. Either use a mutable string or change the function to take a const (assuming it doesn't need to change the string). ~Kender ===== -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GCS/L/C/O d-(+) s++: a-- C+++$>++++ UBLS++++$ P+++(--)$ L+++>++++ E--- W+>++$ N !o K? w(--) !O M- !V PS+ PE(++) Y+ PGP->+ t+ 5 X+() R(+) tv+@ b++(+++) !DI+++ D G(-) e>+++$ h---() r+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
