Hi, I don't have any problems at 1.7 and 1.8 seems to function okay as well, although I have not really fully tested it under 1.8. Are you trying to replace an exit that you have not added yet? Are you using an old copy of the code? Brian

Hi Steve, strdup() isn't a standard C function. I don't know if IBM C provides it, Systems/C does. However, you can easily include it in your source - in fact, it's probably a good idea to provide a "compatibility" source full of miscelleneous-but-helpful-functions-that-may-be-missing.
