Yes, that was verison 2.96-12 or something like that. This is 2.96-98. Maybe some things changed in the interim?? You never know. :) Quite seriously, having a compiler that is not the official gcc release is hardly new stuff. Many people used egcs before it became gcc (and so it wasn't the official release). Some of the same people who contributed to that now work for Red Hat. Maybe they haven't forgotten all of their coding skills, perhaps? Just a possibility. Malcolm -- Preserve wildlife.
