USHRT_MAX _could_ easily be >16 bits in the not too distant future, though this code doesnt seem to be able to include the proper header to get to a proper define it should probably just localally #define it to be 65535 to avoid the breakage 10 years from now. > -Kurt -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
