Now you have me curious. It's not CVSup, it's Modula-3. It thinks it knows that stdin, stdout, and stderr are defined as above, but they're not any more. Because Modula-3 isn't C and doesn't use C header files, it cannot automatically track such changes like C programs do. John -- John Polstra John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
