I dislike using %d for anything which is not written "int" or guaranteed to be written "int" if you replace typedefs with #define's. It cannot be avoided in some cases. This is C after all, and like you mention, on a POSIXoid system. I don't intend to fix the format stuff, I can't, but I just wanted to note that there exist some inexplicit wrt typing formats in that file that I was not intending to fix. I soo enjoy the time recently I've spent with C# ;) -- Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> AIM: BSDFlata -- IRC: juli on EFnet.
