I compiled it all w/ gcc; it works. Getting tools like this into customers' hands has got to be higher on our priority list than tilting at the one true compiler windmill. I appreciate that gcc can be a sloppy compiler, but sometimes a more expedient solution than fixing all the code to compile with studio is needed. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts
