I agree. And of course this problem is not limited to C, there are several not-fully-compatible versions of C++ too. gcc accepts flags like -std=c++98 and -std=c++0x to choose between them. Different compilers presumably need different flags. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
