Why would anything I was referring more to an arrangement where we'd try to keep ONE set of libraries compatible. I agree that the prospect of simply producing NetBSD/i386 and BSD/OS "compatability kits" holds much more attraction for me than does trying to keep the libs in sync between the two systems. Not that I really have time either way, but it's definitely an idea! Jordan
