My position is (1) FreeBSD uses 32-bit time_t everywhere, (2) a consistent spelling of that 32-bit object. How is what I said reversing myself? The email I replied to also said time_t should be 32-bits, but should be spelled `long' since that is the only way to get a 32-bit type on a 16-bit machine. Since FreeBSD will never run on a 16-bit machine, this is not something we need to consern ourselves with. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
