These routines are still included in the appropriate /sys/ins files, but are marked'obsolete', as are the name_$pname_t and name_$name_t data types. HOWEVER, some system calls still use these data types. Yes, HP/apollo is aware of this (I filed an APR this week, when I finally was able to move some sr9.7 code to sr10, and discovered the problem), BUT they haven't promised that it will be mended in the next release. I guess we'll wait and see. -- disclaimer: only my thoughts, opinions, and misspellings are contained herein. * * Sherrie * Mailname: scherdak@mitre.org * Phone: (703) 883-5490
