ME?! That'll be the day. ;) Seriously tho, I am aware of the gcc versioning differences. But most of the "optimizations" can be performed by choice. That is to say I can negate the additional opts.

If that's not enough. Please give a hawler and I'll be happy to provide whatever you need. -Chris > > Kris //////////////////////////////////////////////////// If only Western Electric had found a way to offer binary licenses for the UNIX system back in 1974, the UNIX system would be running on all PC's today rather than DOS/Windows. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////
