In FBSD 4.x I could write multi-line printf() statements with embedded new-lines such as: printf(" hello, this is a test"); In 5.2.1, the newlines have to be preceeded with a "\" character. Since I have some large programs with lots of printf() statements that include embedded new-lines, I'm not looking forward to going through thousands of lines of code to add "\" characters. Is there any command line option option to "cc" (didn't find one in the manpage) or other way to compile my old code the way it is? Jon
