Lite2 changed a lot of string function calls to ANSI versions. Wait until we catch up. Putting the BSD versions in a separate header wouldn't help much. We would become incompatible with BSD. >it looks like both sys/types.h and sys/buf.h require bzero... >machine/pcaudioio.h requires memset... and machine/soundcard.h on >memcpy... sys/types.h is the only Standard header here. sys/buf.h is a kernel-only header. The others probably should be documented as requiring <string.h> if certain ioctls are used (if they are documented at all :-). Bruce
