Hmm, my memory is not what it was, ... ;-) However, I seem to recall that most of the changes were "improvements", with only a (relatively) few scattering of casts (behind existing macros - namely the OPTION macros). (Oh, wait, I think 'unused' parameters etc., was another problem area). > The patch you showed seems like an improvement to the code, but I don't > know if that would be the case for all of them. :) Yes, I've had that patch (and others like it) hanging around for years! (perhaps it's time to dig through all those old branches) ATB, Ramsay Jones
