This is a perfect job for those scandinavian axe wielders?!:-) -- bakul PS: BTW, I do believe (and may be agree with Terry?) that function prototypes are entirely unnecessary but *only if* a smarter linker exists that does proper type checking. If Terry wrote such a linker, people would be immensely grateful to him. Similarly, if Terry were to make the changes to the FreeBSD kernel to compile it with TenDRA (and make it work) at least I would be very grateful to him -- I do think relying so much on GCC is a bad idea but I am realistic (and lazy) enough to not want to fix that on my own.
