I would also like to port the sources for warn, err, etc. Well - it's not "part of the linker" as much as part of the link step; you need to find some library to link with that defines this. Fortunately many such libraries exist, particularly for Windows95 and Win/NT. In particular, for "free-ish" offerings; we've had amazing good luck with the Cygnus effort (it's GPL'd) - see http://www.cygnus.com. - Dave Rivers -
