It's good to keep the boundary clear in your mind... But but but...that's no longer necessary now that EVERYTHING is UNIX, right? So if you have a C compiler, and it isn't cross targeting for some embedded sysetem, then you likely have all of the UNIX primitives and all of the standard UNIX anmd POSIX C libraries at your disposal. Didn't a read a few years ago that Windoze had basically absorbed all of UNIX and that it now provides al of the same stuff, via libraries? Or maybe I misunderstood. It certainly seemed consistant with Microsoft's well publicised "embrace, extend, and destroy" philosophy at the time I read that. Regards, rfg
