I'm assuming gcc 2.96 has it 0 (NULL). Also, I'm assuming that the failing call to XFreeFont() tolerates NULL, but not 0x100. -- ************************************************************************ * Dave Serls Littleton, CO, USA * * dashs.denver.co.us sorrybiscuit.com * ************************************************************************ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
