Hi, folks, I thought you might want to know what I found out after I asked you what happened to itoa. My Sunblade 100's copy of stdlib.h doesn't define that function. So I tried to build the newest version of glibc, which I had ftped from ftp.gnu.org. The configure script complained that glibc nobody had ported glibc to my platform. The good news is that I found an itoa function on the web when I Googled for one. Bill ________________________________________________________________ "Pro-choice?"
