Interesting, particularly seeing as how Linux isn't written in C++, and the name-mangling commonly causes problems. Or would this be the recently-bought-out KAI C++ compiler, which (if memory serves) uses GCC behind it? (If that's the case, then there's just a marginal bit of veneer of naming in between that would probably give RMS a heart attack!) -- (concatenate 'string "aa454" "@freenet.carleton.ca") http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/advocacy.html "Lumping configuration data, security data, kernel tuning parameters, etc. into one monstrous fragile binary data structure is really dumb." - David F.
