There are systems that do not have sys/types.h. That way, all header file checks are done the same way. That also means that I always check for stdio.h too, which is contrary to the recommendations, but makes all the header checks the same. -- Stewart Brodie, Senior Software Engineer Cambridge CVS administration team Pace Micro Technology PLC 645 Newmarket Road Cambridge, CB5 8PB, United Kingdom WWW: http://www.pacemicro.com/
