FreeBSD doesn't use the GNU libc, so contributing them to the FSF won't get them into FreeBSD. > The routines break into two categories: > > 1.)

How do these compare to the macros in sys/queue.h? <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
