Why would it be useful? If you wanted to use the remainder of the standard functions, you would have to write or acquire source for them, or hope that their implementation in the binary library supplied with some other compiler would work. I fail to see a market for such a grossly incomplete implementation. -- Steve Clamage, TauMetric Corp, steve@taumet.com
