I've been reading the glibc doc's lately which mentions that many GNU programs use x* functions. Also the debian maintainer for gtkfind mentioned he was going to use the GNU projects xgetcwd which I could find anywhere. > > > Which list would a question like this go on? > > It sure isn't Hurd-specific.

Perhaps a generic programming newsgroup, then. This isn't hurd specific but relates to porting programs. Thus Neal said the debian list would probably be the better list. However, I think I'm going to get onto the fd-students list and see what I can learn there. ===== James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 2A co-op __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
