And once i had to tweak that fancy boot code, the non-declarations bothered me too much, so i've added them without those funny _P()'s. The _P()'s cannot go from the standard header files, however. They are required there for old programs that need to be compiled with -traditional (since the `porter' is too lazy to resolve the conflicts like ``mktemp("foooXXX")''). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
