As far as PGP is ]concerned, its better to define BSD that not, since applications see a ]BSD interface. ]Yes, there is a problem in system.c: it forgets to include "usuals.h" ]and you have to change the #ifdef around memset, memcmp, and memcpy to ]be: #if defined(BSD) && !defined(NEXT) ]That is the ONLY changes that you should need to get PGP 2.1 to build ]on the NeXT platform. You SHOULD NOT change the makefile.unx as ]suggested. Interestingly enough, I ONLY changed the makefile and it compiled fine on a next. I haven't exhaustively run it, but it passed all the tests suggested in setup.doc. What gives? Rich
