Microsoft's C compiler, to name only one, still does not provide most of the C99 features. I don't know about standard library support. However, I don't see where you gain with using strtol(). First of all, it was already in C89 and has effectively the same interface as the APR conversions. C99 added strtoll() but it has the same interface. What's the benefit? -- Brane
