i was unaware of that ... my only concern is whether the denizens of this list approve of the conventions listed there, as i remember linus torvalds once saying about the GNU coding standards that one should print them off, then burn them in a cleansing ritual. i'll go over them as soon as i finish poring over the official make manual. thanks again. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
