OK.. but these don't appear to be Microsoft's... they have Sun's copyright. Are you 
saying that with a little bit of elbow grease on my part that I should be able to 
substitute Borland's header files ... there don't appear to be filename equivalents for 
Sun's typedef_md.h.. but with a little help from grep & using the 'right' include files I 
should be able to get this to go? Or is there an easier way?

[Hey... couldn't you just get the guys at Sun to use  more standard compiler technology 
?] :-)

Thanks
