That's a valid point ... But it makes me think. What about to put James' old code in compat.[ch] for platforms without gettimeofday. Would that be an appropriate middle-road? I too would like to see MSVC go away. Very much. But again, let's not decide that without James approval for it. kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9FGd0ACgkQDC186MBRfrp4SQCeKnZFdeJpLz4SCxfVmKr+Ffmv 2HYAn3/sVVgjonZ/HBh+axoXTF1s+At8 =MIxf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
