As DEC slowly upgrades the VAX C include files to include more things from the BSD ones, various definitions will need to be deleted from the MultiNet files. This isn't really a conflict; no MultiNet software needs "off_t" or "dev_t" to be defined either way to work. Ken

You can substitute MULTINET:MULTINET_SOCKET_LIBRARY.EXE Note that this is sharable library and must be linked as such using a .opt (/OPT) file. //========================================================================\\ || Floyd Vest <<Written documentation is an admission of failure>> || || Auburn University || || FVEST@AUDUCVAX.bitnet || || {...!psuvax1!ducvax.auburn.edu!fvest} || || fvest@ducvax.auburn.edu || \\========================================================================//
