BTW, it took only two strategic unsigned's to shut the VC++ warnings up--that's all the porting "effort" one needed to spend. > - alex > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
