Just get it _right_ - they don't always want to. I've seen no evidence of a bug in GNU software. There appears to be a bug in the Microsoft runtime library, but I'm still waiting for definitive information in the form of output from the test program I posted. (Perhaps someone else can try that. I don't currently have a Windows system myself.) I agree that jacob should aim for standard conformance rather than GNU compatibility, but I don't think that's the issue here. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst-u@mib.org Working, but not speaking, for JetHead Development, Inc.
