Two questions, just 1 answer - gcc uses 32 bit ints by default. The 68000 works best with 16 bit ints. The PML16 library was compiled with the -mshort option, and is for linking with other objects compiled that way. They will typically be smaller and faster than the 32 bit default libraries. They also typically cause massive headaches when porting Unix code to the ST, but you have to expect problems, eh? -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan Flame all you want - we'll take more.
