The whole point of varargs is that it is a portable INTERFACE with an unportable IMPLEMENTATION. What 'your varargs.h file' says is only true for the machine and OS it's written for (and if you don't believe me, take a look at the respective VMS and VAX BSD <varargs.h>, which are quite different despite being for the same CPU). -- Jon Leech (jon@csvax.caltech.edu || ...seismo!cit-vax!jon) Caltech Computer Science Graphics Group __@/
