Is it a busy wait or is there something actually useful there that suspends the program? and don't forget everyone. IF YOU USE -lx MAKE SURE YOU USE IT IN THE FORM OF -lc -lx so that everything that needs to be satisfied from -lc is loaded from there first! Unless of course you want to cross link a binary for a Xenix platform... -- ----------Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas.------------------ Steven W.
