Unbundled products? Pah! It's just another way the vendors have found to screw the customer. Now they're doing it with the C compiler (like Sun) which is, to many people, an integral part of the system. I know that it'd be nice for those customers who don't need a compiler, but I've heard of a price reduction in the main product when something is unbundled. So everyone loses! The correct answer (of course) is to get hold of GNU GCC. It doesn't cost, it's high quality, and if you run it on all then platforms you have, aids portability somewhat. Nuff said, -- \/ato.

Ooops, I meant to say "I've NEVER heard of a price reduction...." Typo rate increases when I'm in a bad mood :-( -- \/ato. Ian Dickinson. GNU's not got BSE. "Oh MS-DOS!
