Strictly, time should probably be declared time_t. This is a perennial problem in C, especially in regards to portability to other machines and systems. I think we should extend the idea ofand to an include file for all the C library routines (system call interfaces and others), say , so that non-int functions would get properly declared automagically by including this file. [My apologies to those on more than one of these lists.] --mike
