Does the compiler on NeXT has a strict_BSD_fashion switch to compile program previously written for a BSD version. If not, what are the preliminary steps that one should take to modify a makefile from a BSD to NeXT machine. Thanx for any help you can provide. Naim Bentahar

It is defined as _STRICT_BSD_ and works great. The only thing I've had to do in porting 3 or 4 small programs is to sometimes add -fwriteable_strings to the compiler command line options. I've done this is 3 make files in the past week. For all intents and purposes, the cube can be used as a pure BSD Unix machine, just like a Sun, but with the benefit of *not* being a Sun machine. -g
