IBM has made no statement concerning POSIX in OS/2. Microsoft, on the other hand, has pledged compliance to the POSIX spec for their NT project (I think it's number 1002.1, but I may have the number wrong). You may have gotten confused during the discussion of gcc. The GNU compiler, gcc, contains a library of unix-like functions to make porting code easier. This is nothing more than a library, though, and has nothing to do with OS/2 proper. -- |) David Charlap "I don't even represent myself /|_ dic5340@hertz.njit.edu sometimes so NJIT is right out!.
