SCO does not bother to document many useful cc options. The Xenix C (development system 2.2) option set is "largely" Microsoft C version 4/5 compatible. Amongst the more useful of the undocumented are: -J All char's are to be treated as "unsigned char" (This is handy when porting much public domain stuff, like TeX). -Zg Generate function prototypes. The generated prototypes are Msdos Microsoft C version 4 compatible (not STD C or MSC V5 compatible). To generate the prototypes, I use the following shell script: echo "/* ----- $1 ------- */" >>proto.h cc -Zg -DXENIX $1 >>proto.h which allows me to concatenate prototypes from a series of routines into a single header file. tony... -- +------------------------------------ | Tony Field ..alberta!calgary!ajfcal!tony | Co-Design Information Systems Ltd. | Calgary, Alberta, Canada voice: (403) 266-3239
