Cool! The raw data is the output of "nm" on the most important system libraries (usually located in /lib or /usr/lib). Then it gets processed through some appropriate platform dependent sed script, to produce a sorted list of symbols. If you can send me the MacOS X 10.4 data? I have a MacOS X 10.5 machine. So I can then do the update for both at the same time. Other updates that would be interesting - does someone of you have access to such a machine? - AIX 6.1 - Cygwin 1.7 - FreeBSD 7.0 - NetBSD 5.0 - HP-UX 11.31 - NetBSD 5.0 - OpenSolaris Bruno
