My applogies. I don't get the humour. Take a lib, strip the debugging symbols, you get a functional lib that's 10% of the size. However, since BSD relies on the ability to recompile things, don't you need those libs to have the debugging symbols? Or is it that strip -s removes all symbols and it was only intended to remove the debug symbols. The libs won't work? Sorry, I'm from debian. I never compile C. The last thing I compiled was Fortran 77. I try not to mouth-breathe but, when I do, at least I don't drool. Could some kind soul gently explain the humour? Thanks, Doug.
