Thank you, Marcel. :-) Modula-3 does indeed have its own rendition of the FILE structure, which is supposed to match the system's version exactly. So it is a problem, in theory. In practice it is not such a problem, because as far as I know, there aren't any Modula-3 programs which use the stdio interface for their I/O. Modula-3 has its own I/O system which uses read() and write() rather than stdio. The #1 biggest hassle with the Modula-3 stuff is that it has Modula-3 versions of all of the system structures, and they have to match exactly for things to work. Some day I swear I'm going to work out a way to generate the M3 versions automatically from the header files in /usr/include ... John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
