I hate to pop this bubble, but setjmp() and longjmp() are NOT from AIX - they are a part of the SysVR3 release from AT&T and are utilized within Unix, among other places. Source of my information: AT&T System 5 Release 3 internals training. I have not checked too many OS ports, but this (based on the above) exists in AIX, and also exists in Motorola SysV68 and SysV88, and I suspect in most all ports of System V Release 3! Let's not give IBM credit for something that they definitely did NOT come up with! -- ================================================================================ Tim Dawson (...!texsun!Athena!tim) Motorola Computer Systems, Dallas, TX.
