Otherwise, standard C system calls. Is there, by any chance, any option I can compile with, or library I can link with, so that this *will* be binary compatible to run on BSDI? I've just spent a week getting FreeBSD installed and the application ported there, and been told that the customer really wants BSDI. I don't want to think about ordering BSDI, clobbering my OS and reinstalling that one (hoping that it doesn't take a dislike to any of my peripherals), and then doing the port again on BSDI. -- Lynn Gazis Technical Support Rainbow Technologies 650-964-2200 (press 6 for Technical Services) 650-964-8588 (fax) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
