I suspect your only option is "manually". Your best approach might be a set of Windows headers and something like ctags or id-utils to let you quickly search for the type you want to see how it's defined. Note that I also agree that Dmitry's approach is likely to be the best/easiest. Since 'sed' can't easily match C tokens, automated attempts to use sed are highly likely to unintentionally mangle innocent character strings that just look like data types. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
