Other systems don't do it any better. ...there's a very good reason to protect the namespace: basalt (thorpej) ~ 202% uname -sm ; grep endian.h /sys/sys/types.h NetBSD hp300 #include <machine/endian.h> <machine/endian.h> is not meant to be included standalone, but rather pulled in by other header files, which may be POSIX headers. (Note, that in NetBSD, <machine/endian.h> defines the X/Open types in_addr_t and in_port_t) Jason R.
