I'm pretty much at the point where I want to perform checking on all mallocated areas by putting guard words at either end, and running down the list and checking each time I call malloc. I know how to do this, but before I dig down and write it, I thought I'd ask around if anyone else has already done so. We have source licenses for 4.3BSD and SystemV Release 2 Version 2. I'll be happy to mail a copy of the license(s) to anyone who is willing to send me source code or diffs. Thanks in advance. /rs -- -- Rich $alz "Drug tests p**s me off" Mirror Systems, Cambridge Massachusetts rs@mirror.TMC.COM {mit-eddie, ihnp4, wjh12, cca, cbosgd, seismo}!mirror!rs
