John is making a really important point here that I would like to emphasize and expand upon. Regardless of _how_ you use an application or library you _are_ bound by the licence for that piece of software and should read the licence and make sure that you understand it, otherwise how can you

Yes, it seems this is the best solution. I downloaded the FDLIBM files I need and it seems it's very easy to port them (I only need 5 functions as I said). On the other side, the MathLib itself files are very close to those files, because FDLIBM is the source for MathLib. So it seems the

And about ZLib, I read somewhere that the library is built for use on GCC. Is there anybody who used it on CW ? SysZLib is a system shared library and can be used with any tool that can call system shared libraries, including CodeWarrior and GCC. -- Ben Combee [EMAIL PROTECTED] CodeWarrior
