Even better, math.h could contain the line #library <libm.a> That way, a program conforming to the current standard would work with this new compiler without modification. New programs wouldn't have to use the new #library directive, so they'll work just fine under current compilers (with the -l switch, of course). -- Ken Keys, aka Hawkeye Master of the Fugue kkeys@ucsd.edu or hawkeye@ucsd.edu -- -- Ken Keys, aka Hawkeye Master of the Fugue kkeys@ucsd.edu or hawkeye@ucsd.edu
