Excuse me for shouting, this isn't the first time I've posted that. We only care about detecting, non-destructively (both for systems that do and for those that don't have it) whether of not it's there. We are aware that a lot of systems don't have it. The proposal is to detect either the cpp-defined "unix" or "__unix__" variable, which should indicate (if it's found) that sys/param.h does in fact exist on a particular system. If you find a system that defined either of those symbols, but DOESN'T have sys/param.h, that would really be of particular interest. Detect the unix/__unix_ either by a short program, of by doing a cpp -dM, followed by a control D, and it would print out all the locally defined variables. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
