I assume you're talking about IA-64 Windows. But as I understand it, long int is 32 bits on that platform, and off_t is 64 bits, so it's not a problem. The ftello substitute doesn't need to do anything special if long int is narrower than off_t. It needs to worry only if long int is wider than off_t. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
