At one time I was exactly the same way after years of using HP-UX! :-)
Well...  Maybe not because there were always other machines in the mix
too.

Thanks for the sharing.  As I said I was curious as to the code issue
that was problematic for portability.  I already knew it wasn't
portable or it wouldn't have been a squeaky wheel.  So seeing
something unportable was simply expected.

And I will speak for the group and say you are most welcome.  We do
this because if you set a tangled ball of string in front we would
untangle it.  It is just our nature.
