Because if you aren't this :> argument doesn't hold any water for not converting time_t. : :off_t is not a C type, it is a POSIX type. time_t is a C type. : :-GAWollman Fine. But it doesn't change anything. 64 bit integers are used everywhere now a days and accepted (and used as) as a basic integer type. C90 is ten years old and just doesn't apply any more. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
