For a system with expanded functionality, namely multiple servers and networked operation, you can try IRC, Internet Relay Chat. FTP it from tolsun.oulu.fi. -- "Restraint, hell. I'm just too fucking busy." -- Bill Wisner

On my system, stdlib.h is just a link to unistd.h. That file is obviously OS specific so I try to avoid it. I can't send you a copy because it is copyright AT&T. Your best bet is to remove the include directive for this and see what prototypes you are missing. I would think that getopt.h would be obvious from the name but here it is: ------------------------- getopt.h ------------------------------- /* declarations for getopt */ #ifndef _GETOPT_H #define _GETOPT_H extern int getopt(int argc, char **argv, const char *opts); extern int optind, opterr; extern char *optarg; #endif ------------------------ end of getopt.h ---------------------------- The file process.h holds mainly prototypes fork() and exec() calls as well as wait(). I have built up this file from various files and although I have modified it to an unrecognizable form I hesitate to send out the whole thing. Here are the relevant prototypes: ---------------------------- process.h ------------------------------- /* process.h */ #ifndef _PROCESS_H #define _PROCESS_H int execlp(const char *path, const char *arg0, ...); int fork(void); int getpid(void); int system(const char *command); int wait(int *stat_loc); #endif --------------------------- end of process.h ------------------------- Was I wrong to assume that these files would be available under a standard compiler? BTW: This belongs in alt.sources.d where followups are directed. -- D'Arcy J.M. Cain (darcy@druid) | D'Arcy Cain Consulting | I support gun control.

There still seems to be lots of requests for the missing files for this program. Maybe D'Arcy J.M. Cain could re-post the program with all files, including the replacement process.h and getopt.h files for people who don't have them?

Besides including the missing chat.h I replaced the include directive for getopt.h with the actual prototype and declarations. As for process.h, I think that should be included with any ANSI compiler on a Unix system. Although it isn't in the table of standard headers I believe that is only because it is OS specific and will exist on a Unix system. In any case the only things you need from it are fork(2), execlp(2) and wait(2). I suggest you create a process.h with these and related functions. Anyone happen to know what is officially required in this file? -- D'Arcy J.M. Cain (darcy@druid) | D'Arcy Cain Consulting | I support gun control.
