In order to avoid a flame fest, let me point out the old adage: 'There is more than one way to skin a cat.' My version of PGP works, your versions of PGP work, clearly there are multiple ways to solve the non-compilation of PGP 2.1 on the next. The fact is, I am not sure which modification set is the best, but the modifications I made worked fine, so I'm happy with them. By posting I was just trying to let others know that the PGP 2.1 package wouldn't compile instantly with make on their NeXT, perhaps we should let the package author figure out what is most appropriate for PGP. And, I still stand by my claim that the NeXT is a Mach machine, but I can see how my statement was misinterptreted. I agree that the NeXT, has BSD interfaces and BSD programs, not SysV programs and SysV interfaces. But, at the core it is a Mach Kernel which is very different in its features and design than just saying BSD. -Erik
